PREFACE 

The  chief  purpose  of  this  book  is  to  furnish  alternative 
exercises  in  composition  and  conversation  similar  in  character 
to  those  of  the  author's  "German  Composition."  It  seemed 
wise  not  to  depart,  in  this  new  book,  from  a  method  which 
has  met  with  the  enthusiastic  approval  of  teachers  throughout 
the  country.  At  the  same  time  a  number  of  new  features 
suggested  by  recent  advances  in  modern  language  teaching 
have    been  incorporated. 

The  use  of  parallel  German  and  English  texts  has,  in  this 
book,  been  carried  into  Parts  II  and  III,  a  change  which 
will  be  welcome  to  teachers  who  use  the  direct  method  of 

■ 

instruction  more  or  less  exclusively.  Indeed  it  is  probable 
that  some  teachers  will  base  their  work  entirely  on  the  German 
text  and  disregard  the  Engish  paraphrase  altogether. 

With  the  kind  permission  of  the  publisher,  four  of  the 
celebrated  Holzel  pictures  have  been  included  in  Part  I  as 
models  for  conversational  exercises  which  should  be  given, 
frequently  in  every  class  in  composition  and  conversation. 
Every  school  should,  if  possible,  be  provided  with  the  large 
colored  Holzel  wall  pictures  for  use  in  the  class  room.  Al- 
though grouped  together  in  this  book  for  convenience  the 
pictures  are  to  be  taken  up  at  intervals  at  the  discretion  of 
the  teacher,  say  after  every  five  or  ten  lessons.  The  other 
pictures,  *  which  are  found  as  text  illustrations,  may  be  used 
in  the  same  way  as  a  basis  for  composition  and  conversation 
work.  Reproductions  of  famous  paintings,  such  as  the  Perry 
and  Brown  prints,  also  furnish  excellent  subjects  for  free 
composition. 

*A  model  exercise,  which  can  be  varied  at  the  discretion  of  the 
teacher,  lias  been  furnished  with  the  illustration  of  the  Mouse 
Tower,  pp.  48-49.

IV  PREFACE 

The  questions  on  the  German  text  are,  of  course,  intended 
to  be  suggestive  rather  than  exhaustive.  The  foot-notes  are 
very  full  in  the  first  lessons;  in  later  selections  the  student  is 
expected  to  use  correctly  the  material  presented  in  the  vocab- 
ularies, which  have  been  prepared  with  especial  care  and 
which  aim  to  give  the  idiomatic  renderings  of  all  words  and 
expressions  found  in  the  text.  The  Grammatical  Notes 
cover  only  the  chief  points  arising  in  connection  with  the 
material  presented  here.  For  more  detailed  grammatical 
work  any  of  the  standard  reference  grammars  may  be  con- 
sulted. Teachers  will  observe  that,  while  no  special  gram- 
matical headings  are  given  to  the  various  lessons,  the  chief 
grammatical  points  are  introduced  in  order  of  difficulty:  for 
example,  Normal  and  Inverted  Order  in  Lesson  I,  Trans- 
posed Order  in  Lesson  II,  The  Subjunctive  in  Lesson  III,  etc., 
and  that  in  general  the  material  has  been  arranged  in  order 
of  difficulty.  Teachers  will,  of  course,  use  their  discretion 
in  assigning  lessons.  It  may  sometimes  be  advisable  to  de- 
,  vote  two  or  more  recitations  to  chapters  given  here  as  single 
lessons. 

The  author  desires  to  acknowledge  his  indebtedness  to  his 
wife,  Elfrieda  Hochbaum  Pope,  and  his  friends  and  colleagues, 
Professor  A.  W.  Boesche  and  Professor  H.  C.  Davidsen,  for 
their  many  helpful  suggestions  given  during  the  preparation 
of  this  book.  Especial  acknowledgment  is  due  Professor 
Davidsen  for  his  painstaking  reading  of  manuscript  and 
proof  and  for  many  suggestions  which  embody  the  results 
of  years  of  successful  language  teaching  in  Germany  as  well 
as  in  America. 

The  author  will  again  esteem  it  a  great  favor  if  teachers 
will  inform  him  immediately  of  any  errors  or  omissions  which 
they  may  find.  P.  R.  P.

A  Vacation  Trip  in  Germany 


1.   Plans  for  the  Trip. 

"Will  you1  take2  a  vacation  trip  with  me?"  I  said3 
one  evening4  to5  my  friend  Erich.  "Yes,  indeed,"  an- 
swered Erich,  "I  will  gladly  [go]6  along.  We  have  spent7 
the  whole  summer  in  Leipsic,  and  it  is  time  to  see8  other 
parts  of  Germany.  Have  you  written7  home? '  "Yes,"  5 
I  replied,  "and  I  have  already  received7  (the)9  permis- 
sion and  the  money  for  the  trip." 

"But  we  know  very  little  about  (the)9  German  geog- 
raphy, Karl,"  said  Erich;  "you  know,  we  came10  directly 
to  Leipsic  and  have  remained7  here  a  whole  semester.11  Jo 
WTe  must  ask  Professor  Wienhold  to  help8  us." 

"Do  you  wish  to  take2  a  long  trip?"  asked  the  profes- 
sor. "If  not,  I  advise12  you  to  take  the  beautiful  trip^ 
onJ:he_Rhine 13  by  steamer.  Of  course  you  must3  first 
go14  to  Mayence  by  (the)  train.  From  Cologne  you  i5 
can3  come-back  by-way _of13  the  Harz  [Mountains]. 
But  now  you  must3  take^a^goodjook^at15  the  map  of 
Germany  in  my  atlas.  Then  you  can  go_atwyour 
plans.16    Come,  we  will  go8  into  my  study."

A  Vacation  Trip  in  Germany  7 

2.   The  Map  of  Germany. 

Germany  iswsituated  in  the  middle  of  Europe. 
On  the  eastern  boundary  lies  Russia.  To^the1  south 
one2  finds3  two  countries,  Austria  and  (the)  Switzer- 
land. Germany  is  bounded4  onwthe5  west  by  three 
countries:  by  France  in^the  south,  the  Netherlands  in  5 
the  north,  and  by  Belgium.  On  the  north  is6  Den- 
mark. The  Baltic  and  the  North  Sea  form,  however,7 
the  greatest  part  of  the  northern  boundary.  S 

Only  two  of  the  important  rivers  of  Germany,  namely 
the  Weser  and  the  Danube,  rise  in8  German  territory.  10 
The    Rhine,    Germany's    most    famous    river,    rises    in 
Switzerland,  flows  through  the  western  part  of  Germany 
and  empties  into  the  North  Sea  in8  Dutch  territory. 

The  Giant JVloun tains  form  a  part  of  the  boundary 
between  Germany  and  Bohemia.  The  celebrated  Black  15 
Forest  lies  in  the  southwestern  corner.  Almost  in  the 
middle  we  find3  the  HarzJVloun tains  and  the  beautiful 
Thuringian  Forest.  The  highest  mountain  in  Germany 
is  the  Zugspitze,  nearly  3000  meters  high,  in  the  Bava- 
rian Alps.  20

A  Vacation  Trip  in  Germany  9 

Berlin,  the  capital  of  Germany,  has  three  millions  [of] 
inhabitants  and  lies  in  the  central  part  of  the  empire. 
In  the  northwestern  corner  are  situated  the  free  cities, 
Hamburg  and  Bremen,  the  latter4  on  the  Weser,  the 
former5  on  the  Elbe.  In  westernwGermany  we  find2  5 
Cologne  and  Mayence  on  the  Rhine  and  Frankfort  on 
the  Main.  Munich,  the  capital  of  Bavaria,  is  the  largest 
city  in  southern^Germany. 

The  German  empire  has  an  area  of  about  545,000 
sq.  kil.  (square  kilometers),  that  is,  Germany  is  some-  10 
what  smaller  than  the  state  [of]  Texas  in  the  United 
States.     But  this  relatively  small  land  has  more  than 
sixty-five  millions  [of]  inhabitants. 


4.   Purchases  for  the  Trip. 

"  To-day  we  must  go  down  town  and  make  our  pur- 
chases," said  Erich  the  next  morning.1  "Yes,  indeed,"  15 
I  replied,2  "our  plans_for_thewtrip  arewsettled.3  What 
are_you_going_to4  buy?  A  new  rain  coat?  Don't  you 
think  that  I  ought_to5  have  one  too?"  "Yes,  Karl," 
replied  Erich,  "and  I  should_like6  a  felt^hat  for  the  trip. 
I  believe  things_enough_will_occurwtowus7  before  we  20

should_havewaccomplishedn  everything  if  the  service  in 
the  shops  had_not_beenn  so  good.  In  the  first  [one]  we 
noticed  that  the  gentlemen  took_off_their_hats_upon_ 
entering.12  A  shop-girl  told  us  that  this  was13  the  general 
custom  in  Germany.  I  told  Erich  that  I  found13  the  cus-  5 
torn  very  nice.  "  Yes,"  he  replied,  "but  what  pleases  me 
is  that  nearly  everything  is  cheaper  here  than  at  home." 
After  we  had  provided  ourselves  with  handkerchiefs, 
gloves,  etc.,  we  went  to  the  barber  (in_order)_to_be_ 
shaved.14  Erich  wished  to  have  his  hair  cut  too.  My  10 
money  was_all_gone_now,15  but  he  still  had  a  little  with_ 
him,16  so17  we  bought  a  railway  guide  and  a  Baedeker 
before  we  returned  home. 

5.   The  Departure. 

"Shall1  we  take  a  cab,  Karl?'  Erich  asked2  me  the 
next  morning3  bright_and_early4  after  we  had  packed  15 
our  few  traveling  effects  in  our  convenient  knapsacks.5 
"No,"  I  replied,  "I  don't  consider_it_necessary.6  We 
haven't  much  baggage  and  it  is  a  fine  day.  Besides, 
Professor  Wienhold  said2  that  he  intended"  to  take8  us 
to  the  station  and  that  the  whole  family  would  probably  20 
go  along.  In  that  case  we  shouldn't_have9  room  enough 
in  a  cab..   Let'swrather_take10  the  street-car."

"I  am  glad  that  we  ordered  circular  tour  tickets,"  said 
Erich.  "It  is  fine  that  one  can  break  the  journey  as_ 
one_pleases.u  Are  ours  good  [for]  45  or  60  days?"12  I 
told  Erich  that  ours  were7  good  for  60  days  since  the  vari- 
ous coupons  together  amounted_to7  600  km.  (kilometers).    5 

"Arriving13  at  the  station,  we  went  directly  to  the 
(railway)  platform  for  we  did  not  need  to  buy  any14 
tickets  at  the  ticket  window.  Erich  said  that  he  was7 
glad  that  we  had7  no  trunks  to  check.  "But  we  must 
get  platform  tickets  for  the  Wienholds,"  I  responded.  10 
'Here  is  a  slot-machine.  Have  you  a  few  pennies15 
with^you?"16  Now  we  all  went  to  the  platform  to- 
gether. "Well,  we  came17  early  enough,"  said  Professor 
Wienhold.  "Your  train  isn't  to  be_seen.18  Let  us 
walkwupwand_down19  a  little  while  we  wait."  15 

6.  At  the  Station. 

"How  long  must  we  (still)  wait  for  our  train?"  asked 
Erich  after  we  had  walked  to  and  fro  a  few  minutes.1 
"About  a  quarter ^of^anjiour,"1  responded  Professor 
Wienhold,  lookingwatJiis_watch.2  "Don't  you  wish  to 
look  up  your  connections  in_the_meantime?  You  have  20 
a  railway  guide,  haven't^you?"3 

"  What_kind_of  a  train  is  that,  ProfessorJWienhold?"4 
I  asked,  as  a  fine  long  train  pulled  into  the  station.  "It 
seems  to  be  an  L  train,"  he  replied,  "every  car  is  marked 
with  the  Roman  figure  I."  25

"Your  train  is  an  express,  Iwsuppose,"5  Professor 
Wienhold  asked  us,  as  we  were  looking  it6  up  in  the 
time-table.  "Can  you  make_it_out?"7  he  added. 
"  Yes,  here  it  is,"8  answered  Erich.  "You  see,  it6  has  all 
three  classes.  Of  course,  it6  doesn't  make_such_good_  5 
time9  as  the  L  and  D  trains,  but  we  wanted  to  go  thirds 
class.10  I'm  glad  at  least  that  it  isn't^an11  accommoda- 
tion train  and  that  we  are  not  going12  fourth  class." 

"Here  comes  our  train,  Erich,"  I  called.  "We  must 
get  aboard  immediately  in-order13  to  get  a  good  seat."  10 
So14  we  said  good-by  to  the  Wienholds  and  got  into  an 
empty  compartment.  "Karl,  you  can't15  smoke  here," 
said  Erich,  pointing16  to  the  sign  'Non-Smoker.' 
"That  makes  no  difference  to  me,"17  I  answered.  "I 
didn't  want  to  smoke  anyway."18  15 


7.    On  the  Train. 

"Isn't  it  fine  that  we  have  the  corner  seats,  Erich,"  I 
said,  while  we  were  making  ourselves  comfortable.  "I 
should  not  have  believed1  that  we  should^have2  a  com- 
partment all3  for  ourselves.  Have  you  put  your  knap- 
sack in  the  rack?  O  yes,  I  see  it  up_there."4  "These  20 
wooden  seats  aren't  so  bad  afterwall,"5  I  added,  "even6 
if  they  are  not  upholstered."  "No,"  replied  Erich, 
especially  if  one  has  a  traveling Jblanket  along  which

here  now.8 

"Look-out!"9  called  a  guard  now,  shutting10  our 
door.  At  the  same  time  the  conductor  gave11  a  sign  to 
the  engineer  and  the  train  got  slowly  under  way.  5 

"Why  do  we  stop  here?'  asked  Erich  as  we  heard 
a  guard  call  "Corbetha."  "This  is  the  junction  for 
Halle,"  I  answered.  "Shall  we  not  get  out?  Aren't  you 
hungry?"  "Yes,  indeed,"  he  replied,  "and  I  should  like 
a  cup  [of]  hot  coffee."  "Here,  waiter,"  we  called  to  one  10 
who  was  running  to  and  fro,  "give  us  two  cups  [of] 
coffee  and  50  pfg._worth_of12  rolls  and  sausages." 

After  we  had  eaten,  we  got  aboard  again  feeling13 
much  refreshed.  "Shall  we  open  the  windows?'  asked 
Erich.  "The  air  would-be14  better  and  we  should_en-  15 
joy14  the  scenery  more_too."15  "All_right,"16  I  replied. 
"This  cool  breeze  is  very  pleasant,  isn't  it?  But  I'm 
afraid  it  will  be  warm  to-day  for  there  isn't  a  cloud 
inj:he17  sky." 

8.   Peculiar  Dishes. 

Just  before  the  train  got  under  way,  an  old  gentleman  20 
got  aboard  and  seated  himself  opposite1  me.  I  asked 
him  if  he  were  on  an  excursion.  "Yes,  indeed,  gentle- 
men," he  replied.  "And  I  can_telljby2  your  knapsacks 
that  you  are  (on  an  excursion)  too.  Moreover,  I  can_ 
tell_byJooking_at_you2     that    you     are    Americans."  25

"  You  doubtless  could  tell_that_from2  our  accent  too,"  I 
said.  "Well,  yes,"  he  admitted,  "only  I  did  not  wish  to 
say  it."  Erich  told  him  that  we  shouldn't  have  taken3 
it  amiss  if  he  had  said3  it  and  that  we  were4  not  too 
proud  of5  our  pronunciation.  "But  you  speak  very  well,"  5 
replied  the  gentleman,  "much  better  than  an  American 
whose  acquaintance  I  made  two  years  ago  in  Berlin. 
To  be  sure  he  had  been  lacking  in  practice.6 

"One  day7  he  wanted  to  go  alone  to  a  restaurant 
and  asked8  me  to  write9  the  German  words  for  'roast  10 
beef,'  'potatoes'  and  'onions'  on  a  piece_of_paper.  He 
wanted  to  order  roast  beef  and  potatoes  but  was  afraid 
that  he  might  get  onions.  I  told  him  that  it  was  not 
true  that  the  Germans  ate  onions  with  everything,  but_ 
nevertheless^ wrote10  the  words  'without  onions'  for  15 
him  on  the  piece  of  paper.  Unfortunately  my  writing 
did  not  seem  to  be  very  plain,  for  what  do  you  think 
(that)  he  ordered  when  the  waiter  came?  'Kinderbra- 
ten  mit  PantofTeln  ohne  Zweifel'!  " 

I  told  the  old  gentleman  that  his  American  friend  had  20 
done^pretty^badly11  and  that  we  knew12  at  least  some- 
what more  German  than  that.

he  answered.  "But  I  must  tell  you  that  (the)  most  of 
them  are  at  least  as  old  as  I  [am].  First  I  will  tell  you 
one  about  a  Dutchman,  then  I  shall  let  the  French  and 
Germans  take  their  turn."3 

"  One  winter_evening4  several  guests  were  sitting  by  the    5 
fireplace  in  a  Dutch  inn.    Among  them  was  an  English- 
man who  had  just  arrived  and  who  had  seated  himself 
close  to  the  fire.    As5  he  was  cold,  he  did  not  lay_off  his 
overcoat.    Soon  a  glowing  coal  flew  out_of  the  fireplace 
and  fell  on  the  overcoat  of  the  Englishman  who,  how-  10 
ever,6  did  not  notice  it.    A  Dutchman  who  sat  not  far 
from  him,  looked  on  calmly  while  the  coat  began  to 
burn.     Finally  he  went  to  the  Englishman  and  asked 
him  what  his  name  was.7     The  Englishman  told  him 
that  that  was  none  of  his  business.8     'Please  excuse  15 
[me],'  replied  the  Dutchman  and  sat  down  again.    As5 
he  did  not  know  the  Englishman's  name,  he  considered 
it  impolite  to  speak  with  him.     The  coal,  meanwhile,6 
was  burning  in  deeper_and_deeper 9  and  the  Dutchman 
was  becoming  more_and_more_restless.9    Finally,  how-  20 
ever,  as  dense  smoke  began  to  come  from  the  overcoat, 
he  went  a  second  time  to  the  Englishman  and  said: 
1  Excuse  [me],  please,  I  absolutely  must  know  your  name.' 
The   Englishman,    who   could   tell_by_looking_at10   the 
Dutchman  that  he  was  very  [much]  excited,  said  curtly:  25 
'Sir,  my  name  is  James.'    Whereupon   the  Dutchman 
bowed  politely  and  informed  him  that  his  coat  was_ 
onjire."7

10.   The  Hotel. 

"We  can't  be  far  from  Eisenach  now,"  I  said  to  Erich 
about  an  hour1  later.  "Yes,"  he  replied,  "it  is  a  quar- 
ter_past_ten2  and  we  arrive  at  half_past_ten.3  Let  us 
pick  out  a  hotel  in  our  Baedeker  now.  We  must  have  a 
room  where  we  can  wash_our_faces_and_hands4  and  5 
brush  our  clothes.  I  am  pretty  dirty  after  the  trip,  and 
I  should Jike_ to5  put  on  a  clean  collar." 

"Well,  here_we_are,"6  cried  Erich  as  the  train  stopped 
a  few  minutes  later.  A  porter  asked  us  whether  we 
had7  [any]  baggage,  but  left  us  and  went  to  the  other  10 
travelers  when  he  saw  that  we  had  only  our  knapsacks. 
"Shall  we  take  a  cab?"  I  asked  Erich.  "Yes,  we  don't 
know  where  the  hotel  is,"  he  replied. 

Soon  we  stopped  before  the  large  street_door  of  the 
hotel.  The  portier  was  on  hand  immediately  to  receive  15 
us.  A  polite  servant  carried  our  knapsacks  into  the  hall. 
While  Erich  went  into  the  hotel,  I  paid  the  fare.  Besides 
the  2  marks8  that  the  driver  demanded,  I  gave  him  [a] 
50  pfennig  tip,  and  that  seemed  to  please  him  greatly. 

The  rooms  at  4  marks  were  all  occupied,  but  we  ob-  20 
tained  one  at  5  M.  The  portier  said  that  it  had9  just 
been  vacated  and  that  it  was9  the  pleasantest  room  in 
the  hotel.  "Please  have10  our  things  brought^up10  im- 
mediately," I  said  to  the  portier  after  he  had  shown  us 
the  room.  "We  will  take  this  [one]."  As  it  was  not  yet  25 
noon,  I  proposed  now  that  we  go  into  town  and  look 
around  a  little.

11.   The  Restaurant. 

''Where1  shall  we  go?"  asked  Erich  as  we  stepped  out 
upon  the  street.  "Wouldn't^youjike2  to  take_a_look_ 
at  the  house  where  Bach  was  born?"  I  replied.  "Then 
we  can  go  a  little  farther  and  see  the  Lutherjiouse." 

We  were  too  hungry  to^take3  a  long  walk  and  soon  5 
entered  a  restaurant.  "I  believe  all  the  tables  are  occu- 
pied," I  said  looking4  around  for  a  chair.  "Here  are 
two  chairs,  gentlemen,"  said  a  waiter,  and  led  us  to  a 
table  at  which  several  young  men  were  sitting.  "They 
must_be5  students, "  I  whispered  to  Erich.  "Don't  you  10 
see  the  red  caps  hanging6  on  the  hooks?  We  must  bow." 
Then  I  said  aloud,  "Gestatten  die  Herren?"  whereupon 
one  of  them  answered  with  a  very  polite  "Bitte,  sehr." 

"I_suppose7  the  gentlemen  drink  dark  [beer],"  said 
the  waiter,  handing4  me  a  bill  of  fare.    "Yes,  two  glasses,8  15 
please,"  said  Erich.     "Have  you  picked  out  something 
yet?"9  he  asked  me  then.    "Yes,"  I  replied,  "I'll  order 
for  us  both.     Please  bring  us  two  plates  [of]  soup,  one 
[order  of]  roast  goose  and  one  veal  cutlet."     Now  the 
waiter  brought  knives,  forks  and  spoons  and  placed  a  20 
basket  full  of  rolls10  before  us  on  the  table.    "Won't  you 
touch   glasses   with   me?'     I   asked   Erich,   lifting4   my 
glass.     "Prost!,:   he  replied.     "Would  you  like2  some- 
thing for11  dessert?"  I  asked  after  we  had  eaten  our  big 
helpings.     "No,  I  have  already  had  too  much"'  he  re-  25 
plied.     "It  tasted  fine,  didn't  it?':     Now  we  called  the

waiter  and  paid  [our  bill].  Before  we  went  away  we 
bowed  again,  whereupon  the  students  wished  us  a 
"gesegnete  Mahlzeit." 

"Now  where?"12  I  asked  Erich.  "To  the  Wartburg," 
he  replied  and  we  immediately  set  out  [for  it].  5 

12.   The  Wartburg. 

"Shall  we  not  take  the  foot-path?"  I  asked.  "Yes, 
indeed,"  answered  Erich.  "It  is  so  picturesque,  and 
then  we  can  go  past  Fritz  Reuters  villa." 

"Isn't  the  view  magnificent?"  exclaimed  Erich,  as  we 
stood  in  front  of  the  inn  where  one  obtains  tickets_of_  10 
admission  to  the  castle,    170  meters1  above  the  city. 
Now  we  went  across  the  bridge  into  the  outer_works_ 
of_the_castle.2     In  the  picturesque  Ritterhaus  on  the 
right,  the  room  was  shown  us  where  Luther  dwelt  in3 
1522.    An  attendant  told  us  the  story  about  Luther  and  15 
the  devil,  which  amused  us  greatly.     According^to  the 
legend  the  devil  appeared^to  Luther  just  as  he  had  fin- 
ished his  famous  hymn,  "A  Mighty  Fortress."4    Luther 
is_said_to5  have  seized  his  ink-well  and  to  have  thrown 
it  at  the  devil.    "Did6  he  hit  him?"  Erich  interrupted  20 
the  attendant.    "I  hardly  think  [so],"  replied  the  latter, 
"but  I  can  show  you  the  huge  ink  spot  on  the  wall  where 
the  ink-well  broke_towpieces." 

"Aren't  these  pictures  fine?"  I  asked  Erich  as  we  sur- 
veyed the  wall  paintings  with  the  scenes  from  the  life  of  25 
St.  Elizabeth.    "Yes,"  he  replied,  "but  I_am_moreJn-

Hall  where  the  contest_in_song  between  Tannhauser 
and  Walther,  Wolfram  and  the  other  minstrels  is  rep- 
presented.  You  know  Wagner  created  his  opera  [of] 
Tannhauser  from  this  story  and  from  the  Tannhauser^  5 
legend.  In  the  latter,  itjs8  related  how  Tannhauser 
spent  a  whole  year  with  the  goddess  Venus  in  a  hollow 
mountain,  the  neighboring  Horselberg.  Wagner  has 
combined  the  two  legends  with  great  skill  in  his  opera 
and  made  a  thrilling  tone_drama  out_of_them. " 9  10 


13.   In  the  Forest. 

"Aren'tw those1  the  same  students  who  were  sitting  at 
our  table  this2  noon?"  asked  Erich  as  we  saw  a  group  of 
young  men  standing3  before  the  Landgrave' s^house. 
"I  should  like  to  introduce  myself  to  them."  I  told  him 
that  we  could  ask  one  of  them  something  and  perhaps  in  15 
this  way  open  a  general  conversation.  "Very_well,4  I'll 
try  it,"  said  Erich. 

The  students  were  very  kind  and  soon  we  were  chat- 
ting together  like  old  acquaintances.  They  said  that 
they  were  going  to  the  forester's Jiouse  at  the  "Hohe  20 
Sonne"  and  asked  us  if  we  should  like  to  join  them. 
"Do_come_along,"5  said  one  of  them,  "that  is,  if  you 
care_for6  good  coffee  with  genuine  cream." 

After  we  had  descended  from  the  castle  deep  into  the 
valley  we  came  into  a  beautiful  wooded_ valley  with  25

large  beeches  and  oaks.  From  here  we  descended  into 
a  narrow  ravine  whose  steep  sides  came  gradually  closer 
and  closer  together.  "Isn't  it  fine  here?'  cried  Erich, 
"just  see  the  moss  and  ferns."  As  we  arrived  at  the 
forester's  house  which  stood  in  an  evergreen_forest,  the  5 
students  began  to  sing.  After  the  coffee  they  started  an- 
other song  and  one  song  followed  another  until  it  began 
to  grow  dark.  "I  propose  that  we  eat  our  supper  here," 
said  one  of  our  new  acquaintances.  "We  can  walk  back 
to  Eisenach  by  moonlight."  We  were  all  willing  and  10 
decided  to  remain  there. 

"You  have  given7  us  one  of  the  finest  evenings8  we 
have  ever  experienced,"  we  told  the  students,  as  we  ar- 
rived in_front_of  our  hotel  and  took_our_leave  of  them. 
"But  now  we  must  [go]  to  bed,"  I  said  to  Erich,  as  we  15 
went  to9  our  room.  "  It  has  just  struck  12  at10  St.  Nicho- 
las's." 

14.   Frankfort. 

"Get-up,1  Erich,  you  lazybones,"  I  called  the  next 
morning  at  half  past  five.  "Dress  quickly,  for  the  train 
leaves  in  an  hour  and  we  still  have_to2  have_breakfast  20 
and  pay  our  bill."  I  had  to  shake  Erich  vigorously  be- 
fore he  would  awake,  but  my  treatment  was  successful, 
and  promptly  at  half  past  six  we  were  standing  on  the 
platform  waiting3  for  the  Frankfort  express. 

"What  shall  we  see  first?'    Erich  asked  me  after  we  25 
had    arrived    in    Frankfort.      "The    Goethe_house,    of 
course,"  I  answered.    "You  know,  it  is  not  far  from  the

'Rossmarkt'  and  we  can  take  the  car.  I  am  not  so 
much  interested4  in  the  various  monuments,  but  L_sup- 
pose5  we  ought  to  see  them,  especially  the  Gutenberg  _ 
monument.  Sometimes,  however,  I  wish6  he  had  never 
invented  printing."  5 

"The  Goethe_house  is_said_to7  look  just  as  [it  did] 
150  years  ago,"8  said  Erich  as  we  turned_into  the 
Hirschgraben.  "But  what  would  Goethe  say  if  he  could 
see  the  fine  new  Frankfort  of  to-day!  It  must  have 
looked  quite  different  in  his  day."  After  visiting9  the  10 
Goethe  house  we  went  past  the  picturesque  old  City 
Hall,  called  the  'Romer,'  to  the  cathedral  where  the 
emperors  formerly  were  elected  and  crowned. 

Not_until_after10  we  had  sauntered_around  in  the 
streets  [for]  an  hour  did  we  think  of  our  letter_of_in-  15 
trcduction.  When  I  reminded  Erich  of_it,n  he  said 
that  we  ought  to  present  it  as_a_matter_of_propriety. 
"Very  well!'  I  said,  "but  do  you  think  that  we  look 
very  presentable?"  "Not  very,"  he  admitted,"  but  we 
can't  help  that.12  We  shall  simply  tell  them  that  we  are  20 
on  an  excursion." 

15.   The  Call. 

"Can  we  make  calls  in  the  afternoon? '!  Erich  asked 
as  we  drove  in  a  cab  to  (the)  Beethoven  St.    "O  yes!' 

I  answered,  "but  the  official  calling_hour  is  from  12  to  1. 
And  of  course  we  really  ought  to  wear  frock  coats1  and  25

high  hats.1  But  they  will  not  expect  that  of  people^ 
traveling_through.  We  can't  put_on_much_style2  with 
a  clean  collar,  but  they  are  doubtless  nice3  people  who 
will  make_allowances.4  "Yes,"  said  Erich,  "and  we 
shouldn't  have  time  to  dress5  even  if  we  had  our  good  5 
clothes  with  [us]." 

Dr.  Schmidt's  dwelling  was  in  a  fine  house  with  four 
stories  besides  the  ground_floor.  The  janitor  told  us 
that  Dr.  Schmidt  lived  in  the  second  story  on  the  left. 
So  we  ascended  the  broad  stairway  and  rang.  "Do  you  10 
wish  to  speak  [to]  Dr.  Schmidt?'  asked  the  trim  maid 
who  opened  the  door.  "Yes,  if  he  is  at  home,"  I  re- 
plied. "Will  you  please  take  our  cards?'  The  maid 
asked  us  to  come  in  and  left  us  alone  a  moment  in  the 
waiting-room.  15 

Soon  Dr.  Schmidt  appeared  and  led  us  into  the  recep- 
tion-room.    "Please  take  a  chair,"  he  said  taking6  our 
hats.     Before  we  sat   down  I   presented  our  letter  to 
Dr.  Schmidt,  saying  that  we  were  bringing  kind  regards 
from  Professor  Wienhold.    "Well,  how  is7  my  old  friend?  20 
Perhaps    you    [will]    permit    me    to   read   the   letter?' 
"Please  [do],"  we  responded.    After  he  had  quickly  pe- 
rused the  letter,  we  told  him  that  we  were  taking  a  vaca- 
tion trip  and  begged  him  to  excuse  us  if  we  came  at8 
[an]  inopportune  time.     "Please  don't  give9  yourselves  25 
any10  anxiety11  on_that_account,"12  replied  Dr.  Schmidt, 
cordially.

16.    The  Call   {Concluded). 

After  we  had  chatted  [for]  a  few  minutes,  Dr.  Schmidt 
said  that  he  would  like1  to  introduce  us  to  his  wife  and 
daughters,  who  were  down  in  the  garden.  The  coffee^ 
table  was  set  in  a  charming  little  arbor  and  the  family 
had  evidently  been_on_the_point_of_  taking2  their  [af-  5 
ternoon]  coffee  when  we  arrived. 

When  Dr.  Schmidt  introduced  us  to  the  ladies,  we 
said  that  we  were3  very  glad  to  make  their  acquaintance, 
and  at  the  same  time  they  said  that  it  was3  very  agree- 
able to  them.  Of  course  we  did  not  forget  to  bow.  10 
"You  are  living  with4  our  friend,  Professor  Wienhold, 
are_you_not?"5  Mrs.  Schmidt  asked  as  we  sat  down 
at  the  table.  "Yes,  indeed,  Mrs._Schmidt,  "6  I  replied. 
"We  have  often  heard  the  family  speak  of  you." 

"Can  you  go  to  the  Palm  Garden  with  us  this  eve-  15 
ning?"  said  Dr.  Schmidt  after  we  had  had7  coffee.    His 
wife  added  that  there  would  be8  a  fine  concert  and  that 
we  absolutely  must  come  along.    Of  course  we  accepted 
their  kind  invitation  with  pleasure. 

"And_so  you  go  to  Heidelberg  to-morrow? '  asked  20 
Dr.  Schmidt  after  the  concert.  "  Of  course  you  will  want 
to  see  a  few  duels."  I  told  him  that  we  were_very_de- 
sirous9  of  seeing10  one  at  least.  "If  it  were  next  week 
I  should  be  glad  to  go  with  you,"  said  Dr.  Schmidt, 
"but  the  end  of  the  semester  comes  this  week.  It  is  25 
too  bad  that  you  could  not  come  earlier.     I  will,  how-

ever,  give  you  a  letter  to11  a  young  fraternitywbrother 
ofwmine12  and  he  will  show  you  everything." 

"Well,  it  was  very  nice  after  all,"  I  told  Erich  after 
we  had  taken  leave  of  the  Schmidts,  "I  felt  quite  as  [if  I 
were]  at  home."  5 

17.   Old  Heidelberg. 

"Don't  you  find  it  natural  that  we  love  our  Old  Hei- 
delberg?' asked  our  guide,  Mr.  (student  of  law)  Otto, 
as  we  went  across  the  Neckar_bridge.  "You  doubtless 
know  Scheffers  fine  song  'Old  Heidelberg'  by  heart. 
Well,  that  song  expresses  just  (that)  what  we  students  io 
think.  But  now  we  shall  soon  be  in  the  Hirschgasse," 
he  said  as  we  saw  a  group  of  students,  evidently  mem- 
bers of  some  "swell"  fraternity. 

In  a  few  minutes  we  were  in  the  dueling  hall.  Just 
as  we  entered,  we  heard  the  umpire  call:  "Cross  swords  15 
—  go!"1  and  the  first  round  began.  We  heard  the 
swords  clash  and  saw  the  sparks  fly.  In  a  few  minutes 
one  of  the  two  seconds  called  'Halt'  and  begged  the 
umpire  to  declare  a  bloody  [cut]  on  the  opponent's_side. 
The  surgeon  came,  but  did  not  need  to  look  twice  ...  20 
The  umpire  calmly  declared  "Duel  over"  and  a  second 
pair  had_their_turn. 

"I  think  we  must  return  to  Heidelberg  now,"  I  told 
our  guide  after  we  had  seen  a  few  more  duels.     "Very 
well,"  he  replied,  "may  I  place  myself  at  your  disposal?  25 
It  would  give  me  great  pleasure  to  show  you  the  castle." 

11  an.    12  don  mir.

" Isn't  it  magnificent!"  exclaimed  Erich  as  we  stood 
on  the  terrace  and  enjoyed  the  view  over  city  and  valley. 
"Yes,  indeed/'  I  replied,  "and  the_more2  one  looks  at 
the  old  castle,  the_more2  it  impresses  one.3  Shall  we 
not  remain  up  here  all  afternoon?  I  wish4  I  did  not5  5 
need  to  go  again  at^all."5  "Why  don't  you  eat  your 
supper  in  the  castle  restaurant?'  asked  Mr.  Otto. 
"This  evening  you  will  have  the  rare  [good]  fortune  of 
seeing6  the  castle_ruins  in  the  light  of  the  full  moon.  It 
is  quite  fairylike."  10 

After  we  had  returned  to  the  city,  Erich  asked  me  if 
I  should  not  like  to  study  in  Heidelberg  next  summer. 
I  told  him  that  it  was  too  beautiful  for  me  and  that  I 
was  convinced  that  I  should  not  do_much_studying7 
in  such_a8  lovely  and  romantic  place.  15 


18.   Bingen. 

"Well,  I  am  glad  that  we  shall  have^a^good^sleep1 
to-night,"  said  Erich  as  we  arrived  in  Bingen.  "I  am 
quite  tired  after  our  exertions  of  the  last  [few]  days. 
WTe  must  go  to  bed  right  after  (the)  supper."  "Would 
it  not  be  interesting  to  row  out  to  the  celebrated  Mouse  20 
Tower  first?"  I  asked.  "For_all_I_care,,,  he  answered, 
"if  it  is  still  light  enough." 

After  supper  the  friends_succeeded2  in  finding3  an  old 
ferryman,  who  rowed  them  out  to  the  little  island  and

related  to  them,  during  the  passage,  the  story  of  the 
wicked  bishop  Hatto. 

This  Hatto  was  Bishop  of  Mayence  during  the  great 
famine  of  974.  After  many  people  had  starved,  Hatto 
promised  to  feed  the  poor  if  they  would  collect  (them-  5 
selves)  in  one  of  his  barns  near  the  city.  Hatto  waited 
until  all  were  in,  then  called  to  his  servants,  "Lock  the 
doors.  Set  the  barn  on  fire."  Soon  one  could  hear  the 
poor  people  shrieking3  in  the  flames.  The  bishop,  how- 
ever, had  no  pity,  laughed  aloud  and  asked  his  servants  10 
if  they  could  hear  the  mice  squeaking.3 

But  God  the  Lord  avenged  the  poor  [people].  Night 
and  day  He  let  (the)  mice  torment  the  wretched  bishop 
so  that  he  could  find  no  repose.  After  he  had  tried  in 
vain  to  protect  himself  against  them,  and  was  at  his  15 
wit's  end,4  he  thought  of  this  little  island  in  the  middle 
of  the  Rhine.  Immediately  he  had5  this  tower  built6 
and  fled  thither.  But  the  mice  succeeded7  in  swimming3 
through  the  stream  and  climbing3  the  tower  and  the 
wicked  bishop  was  devoured  alive.  20 

"O,  how  dreadful!'  exclaimed  Erich,  in_order_to8 
show  his  interest  in9  the  legend,  for  the  old  man  seemed 
to  believe  the  story.  Then  he  asked  me  in  English 
if  the  Mouse  Tower  had  had  anything  to  do  with 
mice  originally.  "Certainly  not,"  I  replied.  'It  was  25 
formerly  nothing  but10  a  toll  tower  at  which  the  pass- 
ing ships  had  to  pay  (the)  toll.  After  the  people11  had 
ceased  to  use  the  word  'Maut'  and  no  longer  under- 
stood it,  the  word  '-Mautturm'  became  'Mausturm.'

A  Vacation  Trip  in  Germany  51 

19.    The  Trip  on  the  Rhine. 

"Do  you  see,  the  steamer  is  just  landing,  Erich,"  I 
said  the  next  morning  as  we  hurried  to  the  [floating] 
wharf.  "We  didn't  come  [any]  too  early."  "Here  we 
are1  on  the  water  again,"  said  Erich  after  we  had  come 
aboard  and  mounted  to  the  upper_deck.  "I  hope  you  5 
won't  be2  seasick  this  time."  "No  danger,"  I  replied. 
"There  are  no  large  waves.  How  different  the  whole 
feeling  is  anyway!  Do  you  remember  our  ocean_trip 
and  how  we  admired  the  tall  masts  and  the  mighty 
smoke-stacks  of  the  '  Amerika '  ?     And  then  the  fresh  10 


sea  air!': 


if 


Where  is  your  camera,  Karl?'  cried  Erich,  "and 
your  plates?  I  believe  I  shall  use  films  for  we  shall  cer- 
tainly take  many  pictures.  The  weather  could  not  be 
finer  for  photographing."3  Hardly  was  the  steamer  15 
under  way  before_we_began4  to  snap  [the  shutter],  and 
I  told  Erich  after  we  had  taken  half  a  dozen  old  castles 
that  we  should  soon  have  enough  plates  to  develop  and 
prints  to  make. 

As  we  went  past  the  hills  crowned_with_castles  we  20 
could  see  the  people  working5  in  the  celebrated  vine- 
yards. Occasionally  the  steamer  stopped  at6  little  cities 
and  new  passengers  came  aboard.  As  the  Lorelei_cliff 
came  in  sight,  a  choral  society  struck  up  Heine's  well_ 
known  song  and  everybody  sang  with  [them].  The  sing-  25 
ing,  together  with  the  romantic  beauty  of  the  river,  made 
a  deep  impression  on  everybody. 

"How  many  great  names  and  historical  events  are

connected  with  these  cities,"  I  said  to  Erich  as  we  went 
past  Rolandseck,*  "  to_say_nothing_of_the_legends."7 
Finally  we  caught  sight  of  the  spires  of  the  Cologne 
cathedral.  "  Now  it  is  over,"  said  Erich,  sighing.8  "We 
shall  soon  be  standing  in  the  city  'with  the  many 
churches  and  chapels.'  Do  you  remember  the  line  in 
Heine's  'Wallfahrt  nach  Kevlaar'?" 


20.   Cologne. 

"Now  we  must  go  to  the  cathedral,"  I  told  Erich  as 
soon  as  we  had  landed.  "You  know  it  occupies  the  first 
place  among  all  the  structures  of  Gothic  style.  Many  10 
people  assert  that  it  is1  the  most  magnificent  building  in 
the  whole  world."  "And  they  are_right,"2  said  Erich 
later  as  we  stood  before  the  monumental  structure. 
"Nothing  has  ever  made  such  an  overwhelming  impres- 
sion upon  me  as  this  incomparable  west  facade.  One  15 
feels  (himself)  almost  annihilated  by  the  [very]  size 
alone." 

"Is  it  not  like  a  wonderful  forest,  Karl?''  said  Erich 
after  we  had  entered  the  cathedral.  "And  don't  those 
huge  pillars  seem  to  you  like  gigantic  tree_ trunks?''  In  20 
the  evenings  twilight  we  could  hardly  see  the  people  ex- 
cept where  the  mysterious  fight  from  the  stained^glass 
windows  fell  upon  the  stone_pavement. 

"Don't  the  people  look  small  and  insignificant?"  said 
Erich.    "Yes,  Erich,"  I  replied,  "but  do  not  forget  that

the  plan  of  this  cathedral  was  conceived  by  men  and 
carried  out  by  men." 

"How  long  was  the  cathedral  in  building?"3  we  asked 
an  attendant4  the  next  morning  after  we  had  attended 
(the)  high_mass.  "More  than  six  centuries,  gentlemen,"  5 
he  replied,  "(namely)  from  Aug.  14th,  1248,  when5  the 
corner-stone  was  laid,  until  Aug.  14th,  1880.  On  Oct. 
15  th  of  the  same  year  we  celebrated  the  completion  of 
the  cathedral  in  [the]  presence  of  His  Majesty  Emperor 
Wilhelm  I."  10 

"You  should  see  the  reliquary  of  the  Three  Magi  in 
the  treasury,"  advised  the  attendant.  "In_any_case 
you  must  ascend  to  the  roof  and  the  towers."  As  we 
arrived  above,  the  stone_figures,  which  from  below 
looked  so  small  and  delicate,  appeared  gigantic.  I  told  15 
Erich  that  we  could  obtain  a  much  better  idea  of  the 
tremendous  proportions  of  the  cathedral  up  here  than 
below.  From  this  dizzy  height  everything  looked  so 
small,  even  the  mighty  Rhine  resembled  a  broad  ribbon 
and  the  steamers  on_it6  and  the  houses  in  the  city  looked  20 
like  toys. 

21.   In  the  Harz  Mountains. 

"If  this  weather  holds,  the  conclusion  of  our  vacation^ 
trip  will  be  the  finest  part  [of  it]."  So  spoke  Erich  as 
we  arrived  in  Wernigerode.  "I  am  very  glad  that  we 
planned  this  walking  trip  through  the  Harz.  I  have  25 
(already)  always  wished  to  climb  the  Brocken,"  he  con- 
tinued, "especially  since  we  read  Heine's  kHarzreise'  in

we  had  left  the  forest,  we  found  that  the  path  was  grow- 
ing steeper_and_steeper.6  Now  there  were  no  trees  and 
we  felt  the  sun  burning_down7  hot  on^our^backs.8 
"I'm  going_to<J  take  off  my10  coat,  Erich,"  I  said. 
"Won't  you  follow  my  example?"  "Yes,  indeed,"  he  5 
replied,  "for  there  is  no  wind  blowing  to  cool  us  off." 

'There  is  the  hotel,"  cried  Erich  as  we  caught  sight  of 
the  "Brockenhaus"  shortly  before  seven  o'clock.  "Yes, 
everything  has  an  end,  even  this  steep  path,"  I  replied. 
'But  aren't  we  fortunate.  We  have  arrived  just  in  10 
time  to  see  the  sunset.  It's  cool  enough  up  here,  isn't 
it?'  I  continued,  putting11  on  my  coat.  "I  think  we 
ought  to  go  into  the  hotel  immediately  and  get  a  room 
and  something  to  eat." 

22.   In  the  Harz  Mountains  (Conclusion). 

"Well,  we  can  consider  ourselves  lucky  if  we  get  any-  15 
thing^at^all,"1  said  Erich  to  me  as  we  entered  the  hotel. 
'It  is  really  swarming  with  people."  "Can  we  get  a 
room  with  two  beds?'  I  asked  the  head  waiter..  "I 
am  sorry,  gentlemen,  the_only_thing2  we  still  have  is  a 
room  with  five  beds  which  you  must  share  with  three  20 
other  gentlemen.  I  hope,  however,  that  you  will  not  be 
sorry  that  you  came.3  You  have  had  a  clear  view  and 
not  all  fare  so  well4  that  they  can  speak  of  this  rare 
[piece  of]  luck.  Just  read  some  of  the  poems  in  the

A  Vacation  Trip  in  Germany  61 

" Aren't  you  tired  (yet)?"  asked  Karl  the  next  eve- 
ning after  we  ha,d  marched  for^miles,  chiefly  through 
the  splendid  fir  woods.  "Not  at  all,"  I  replied,  "but  I 
am  looking_forward  with  pleasure  to  (the)  supper  at 
Treseburg.  Brook  trout  taste  pretty  good,  I  can  assure  5 
you,  and  one  always  gets  them  there." 

The  third  morning  of  our  Harz  tour  found  us  in  the 
beautiful    Bode^valley    which    grew    more_and_more_ 
magnificent5  the6  farther  we  went_down.     Finally  we 
came  to  a  narrow  gorge  through  which  the  river  rushed  ic 
with  [a]  mighty  roar.     Erich  said  that  it  reminded  him 
of  the  description  in  Schiller's  "Taucher"   where  the 
poet  describes  how  the  waters  boil  and  hiss  and  seethe. 
A  little  farther  we  caught_sight_of  a  rocky_cliff.    "That 
must  be  the  'Rosstrappe,'   '*  cried  Erich.     "Soon  we  15 
shall  be  standing  on  the  summit,  200  meters  above  the 
stream."     As7  the  cliff  rose  perpendicularly,  we  had  to 
make  a  long  detour  before  we  reached  our  goal.     "Now 
our  journey  is  at  an  end,  Erich,"  I  said,  as  I  looked  back 
over  the  forests  and  valleys  through  which  we  had  just  20 
come.    "Do  you  see  that  peaceful  plain  down  there  with 
the  countless  villages?    How  calmly  the  Bode  is  flowing 
there.     It  no  longer  foams  and  roars.     Here  almost  di- 
rectly below  us  is  the  little  city  [of]  Thale;  I  can  see  the 
station  from  which  we  shall  leavewfors  Leipsic  this  after-  25 
noon."

62  A  Vacation  Trip  in  Germany 

23.  KarPs  Letter. 

Leipsic,  Aug.  20,  191 1. 
Dear  Mother:  — 

I  hardly  know  where  I  should  begin.  We  had1  so 
many  interesting  experiences  on  the  trip  and  saw1  so 

5  many  new  cities  and  regions  that  it_is_dimcult_for_me2 
to  know  what  I  ought  to  describe  and  what  I  should  omit. 
I  will,  however,  do_my_best3  and  try  to  give  you  a 
fairly  detailed  account  of  our  trip. 

As4  I  wrote  you  already,  we  begged  Professor  Wien- 

10  hold  to  help  us  with  our  plans,  and  he  insisted_that5  we 
(should)  make  ourselves  acquainted  with  the  German 
map  before  we  decided  where  we  wished  to  go.  So  we 
went  into  his  study  one  day  and  he  gave  us  a  long 
lesson  in  (the)  geography.    It  reminded  me  of  old  times 

15  when6  I  was  an  eight_year_old  boy. 

After  we  had  decided_upon  our  plans_for_the_trip, 
we  went  down_town  and  made  our  purchases  for  the 
journey.  It  seemed  to  me  afterwards  as  if  we  had  been 
in  every  shop  in  (the)  town.    Then  we  ordered  a  circular 

20  tour  ticket  for  the  next  day,  had7  our  hair  cut  and,  in 
the  afternoon,  made  a  few  calls.  The  next  morning  we 
got  up  bright_and_early  and  took_the_street-car8  for9 
the  station,  arriving^ there10  (a)  half  [an]  hour  before  the 
departure  of  the  train.     We  should  have  taken11  a  cab 

25  but  we  had  very  little  baggage ;  moreover,  the  Wienholds 
wanted  to  accompany  us  to  the  station  and  we  should 
not  have  had11  enough  room  in  the  cab.

Arriving12  at  the  station,  we  needed  only  to  call^for13 
our  circular  tour  tickets  at  the  ticket  window.  We  in- 
tended to  take  our  knapsacks  with  us  into  the  car  and 
[so  we]  had  no  baggage  to  check. 


24.   Karl's  Letter  (Continued). 

The  Wienholds  went  with  us  to1  the  platform  after    5 
they  had  got  platform^tickets.     In  Germany  one  must 
have  either  a  platform  ticket  or  a  [trip]  ticket  to_bew 
allowed_to_go_on_the_platform.2      As    you    doubtless 
know,  there  are3  four  different  classes  here.    We  went4 
thircLclass5  in  an  express- train  and   did  not  find  the  10 
wooden  seats  too  uncomfortable.    On  the  contrary,  it  is 
quite  cool  and  comfortable  when  one  goes  third  class  in 
summer.     We  chatted  with  the  Wienholds  until  some 
one  called  "all  aboard.1'     Then  we  said  good-by,  got 
aboard,  put  our  knapsacks  in  the  rack  and  made  our-  15 
selves  comfortable. 

In  Corbetha  we  made  the  acquaintance  of  a  nice  old 
gentleman,  who  told  us  one  story  after  another.  He 
said  that  we  spoke6  German  very  well  and  that  we 
might7  be  quite  proud  of  our  pronunciation  even_ifwwe8  20 
had  not  yet  quite  learned  the  German  r-r-r.  We  should^ 
have_liked_towleavewthewtrain 9  at  Weimar  in  order  to 
visit  this  little  city  where  Goethe  and  Schiller  lived,  but 
as  we  intend  to  spend  a  week  there  next  spring,  we  rode 
on  to  Eisenach.  25

64  A  Vacation  Trip  in  Germany 

There  we  visited  the  Wartburg,  a  celebrated  medieval 
castle  on  a  hill  not  far  from  the  city.  From  the  Wart- 
burg we  went  with  some  German  students  through  the 
woods  to  the  "Hohe  Sonne''  where  we  had  supper  and 
5  spent  the  evening.  You  can  imagine  that  it  was  pretty 
late  when  we  tookjeave^of 10  our  new  acquaintances  inw 
front_of  our  hotel. 

In_spite_of_that, n  we  were  at  the  station  bright  and 
early  the  next  morning  (in  order)  to  take  the  first  ex- 
10  press  for12  Frankfort. 

25.   KarPs  Letter  {Concluded). 

We  had  a  letter_of_recommendation  from  Professor 
Wienhold  to  a  family  in  Frankfort,  but  did^not^think^ 
of^it^untiljate1  in  the  afternoon  after  we  had  seen  all  the 
sights  of  the  city.    Then  we  made  our  call  although  we 

15  could  not  go  at  the  official  calling Jiour  and  had  to  wear 
our  ordinary  suits.  (In  order)  to  comfort  you,  I'll  tell 
you  that  we  at  least  put  on  clean  collars.  The  Schmidt 
family2  was  extremely  friendly.  Dr.  Schmidt,  a  very 
able  and  apparently  very  wealthy  physician,  introduced 

20  us  to  his  wife  and  daughters  and  invited  us  to  spend  the 
evening  with  them  in  the  Palm  Garden,  where  we  had 
supper. 

The  next  day  we  were  in  Heidelberg.  Immediately 
after  our  arrival  we  went  with  a  friend  of  Dr.  Schmidt,  a 

25  member  of  his  corps,  to  see  the  duels.  But  I  will  not 
describe  them.    It  would  certainly  be  repugnant  to  you.

I  must  confess,  however,  that  Erich  and  I  found  it  very 
interesting  after  the  first  round  and  that  we  admired  the 
courage  of  the  young  freshmen  who  were  "laying_loose': 
at3  one  another. 

You  would  have  enjoyed  the  castle  more,  if  I  am  not    5 
mistaken.     It  was  wonderfullywbeautiful  up  there,  es- 
pecially inwthe4  evening.     The  old  ruin  made  an  over- 
whelming impression  upon  us  as5  it  lay  there  silent  in 
the  fairylike  light  of  the  full  moon.     I  must  save  my 
description  of  the  splendid  trip_down_the_Rhine  and  our  10 
tramp  through  the  Harz  for  my  next  letter.     It  is  time 
now  to  go  to  Professor  Wienhold.     Erich  and  I  have  a 
lesson  every  morning,  for,  although  we  are  having  vaca- 
tion, we  work  a  little  every  day.    Now  we  are_going_to6 
read  the  legends  and  stories  which  are  connected  with  15 
the  cities  and  regions  which  we  have  just  seen  on  our 
trip.     Then  we  intend  to  read  various  works  on7  Ger- 
man history,  literature  and  customs.    Now  I  must  close. 
With  a  thousand  greetings  and  kisses  to8  you  all, 

Your  loving9  son,  2c 

Karl.

High  School  Boy*  and  University

1.   The  Daily  Program  of  a  German  High 

School  Boy. 

Dear  Karl:1  — 

In  your2  last  letter  you  requested  me  to  tell  you  more 
about  our  life  here  and  especially  about  the  life  of  a 
high_schooLboy.  As3  the  German  schools  differ  from 
the  American  and  English,  I  must  first  describe  briefly  5 
our  system^of ^instruction.  Of  course  (the)  most  young 
Germans  do  not  have  the  intention  of  entering  a  uni- 
versity f  and  these  attend  only  the  common  schools, 
which  have  a  course  of  eight  years  and  are  similar  to 
American  schools.  Every  German  must  attend  (the)  10 
school  from  his  sixth  to4  his  fourteenth  year. 

Those_who5  intend  to  enter  the  university  attend  the 
common  schools  only  three  years  and  then  go_to6  either 
a  Gymnasium,  a  Realgymnasium  or  an  Oberrealschule. 
At  the  Gymnasium  the  chief  ^weight  is7  laid  on  Latin  15 
and  Greek;  in  the  Realgymnasium  instruction  in  Latin 
is7  given  but  not  in  Greek,  and  more  time  is7  devoted  to 
modern  languages  and  natural  sciences;  in  the  Oberreal-

*  High  School  Boy  is  not  a  fair  equivalent  for  „©l)mna[taft."  The  upper  classmen  of 
a  Gymnasium  are  at  least  as  far  advanced  as  the  lower  classmen  of  an  American  college. 
The  German  university  corresponds  more  nearly  to  our  graduate  and  professional  schools 
than  to  our  college.

schule  no  instruction  is7  given  in  Greek  and  Latin  and 
still  more  time  devoted  to  modern  languages  and  the 
sciences.  These  schools  have  a  course  of  nine  years  and 
with  their  diploma  one  can  enter  the  university  without 
further  examination.  5 

I  did  not  know  at  first  whether  I  should  go  to  a 
Gymnasium  or  an  Oberrealschule.  (The)  most  of  my 
friends  were  attending  a  Gymnasium,  but  I  wanted  to 
learn  English  and  French,  and  one  can  get  more  if 
not  better  instruction  in  the  modern  languages  at  the  10 
Oberrealschule  than  at  the  Gymnasium.  My  father, 
however,  asked  me  to  attend  the  Gymnasium  in  order 
to  learn  Greek  and  Latin  thoroughly,  and  promised 
me  that  he  would  send  me  to  England  and  France 
later.  15 

As3  I  have  attended  the  common  school  three  years 
and  the  Gymnasium  five  years,  I  am  now  an  Unter- 
sekundaner*  and  have  four  years  more  before  I  go  to8 
the  university.  I  believe,  however,  that  I  am  a  little 
farther  [advanced]  than  the  pupils  in  the  first  year  of  20 
the  American  "high  school."  I  have  had  Latin  eight 
hours  a9  week  during_fivewyears,10  Greek  six  hours  a  week 
during  two  years,  French  four  hours  a  week  during  three 
years,  to_say_nothing_ofn  the  instruction  in  (the)  his- 
tory, geography,  etc.  I  think,  too,  that  we  work  much  25 
more  than  you  [do]  in  America.  You  will  believe  me,  (of 
that)  I  am  convinced,  when12 1  now  describe  to  you  my 
daily_program.

2.   The  Daily  Program  of  a  German  High 
School  Boy  (Continued). 

Every  week-day,  Saturday  included,  we  must  be  in 
the  Gymnasium  at  seven  o'clock  in  summer  and  eight 
o'clock  in  winter.  You  can  imagine  how  early  I  get  up, 
especially  if  I  wish  to  read  my  lessons  through  again  be- 
5  fore  (the)  breakfast.  (The)  breakfast  takes1  little  time, 
for  we  have  only  coffee  and  rolls.  At  twenty  minutes 
before  seven,  I  hang  my  knapsack  [with  my  books] 
over  my  back  and  am  in  my  seat  promptly  at  seven 
o'clock. 

io  When  our  teacher  enters  we  all  stand  up  and  remain 
standing  until  he  says,  "Sit  down."  Then  the  instruc- 
tion begins.  Here  there  are2  no  unoccupied  hours  for 
studying3  while  one  is  in  (the)  school.  Instruction  goes 
on  always.4     The  teacher  narrates  and  explains  more 

15  than  in  America  and  less  time  is  devoted  to  the  reciting 
of  that  which  one  has  just  learned.  Of  course  we  must 
know  what  we  have  had  the  last  time,  for  the  teacher 
puts  many  questions  during  his  explanations.  Moreover 
we  have  many  written  exercises  to  hand  in. 

20  After  every  class  we  have  a  recess  of  ten  minutes, 
which  we  spend  on  the  playground  while  the  room  is  be- 
ing aired.  Here  we  play  ball,  or  practise_gymnastics  on 
the  horizontal  bar  or  ladder,  etc.,  with  which  each  school 
is  abundantly  provided.     After  the  third  hour  we  have 

25  a  quarter_of_an_hour  during  which  we  eat  our  breads 
and_butter  and  play  again.    At  twelve  o'clock  in  sum-

mer  and  one  in  winter,  when  the  fifth  class  is  out,  we 
go  home. 

Four  afternoons  in  the  week  we  have  instruction 
from  two  to  four  or  five,  mostly  in  easy  subjects.  We 
have  a  lesson_in_gymnastics  three  times  a  week.  Now-  5 
adays  much  more  attention  is  devoted  to  (the)  gymnas- 
tics at  the  Gymnasium  than  a  few  years  ago,  when5  the 
Gymnasium  pupils  had  to  " grind"  continually  and  sel- 
dom had  time  to  play. 

At  four  we  have  coffee,  as6  (it)  is  [the]  custom  in  all  10 
German  families;  afterwards  I  do7  my  lessons  for  the 
next  day.  As  we  do  not8  eat  supper  until^eight,8  I 
generally  have  an _hour_or_two 9  unoccupied.  Sometimes 
I  go  walking  with  my  friends  or  play  [lawn-] tennis.  In 
the  winter  when  there  is  ice  we  generally  skate.  15

School  Boy  (Concluded). 

After  (the)  supper,  I  play  the  violin  with  my  sister 
who  accompanies  me  on  the  piano.  Then  I  study1  about 
an  hour  before  I  go  to  bed.  Once  a  week,  however,  papa 
takes  us  along  to2  the  opera  or  the  theater  and  then  we 
go  to  bed  later.  This  he  does  generally  Wednesdays  or  20 
Saturdays  after  we  have  had  a  free  afternoon  and  have 
finished  our  lessons  before  supper.  I  have  already  seen 
(the)  most  of  Wagner's  operas  and  many  comic  operas, 
also  many  performances  of  the  most  celebrated  dramas 
of  Goethe  and  Schiller.  25

On  our  free  afternoons  our  class  often  takes3  an  ex- 
cursion into^the4  country  with  our  teacher,  Dr.  Pauls, 
who  takes  the  opportunity  to  instruct  us  in  (the)  botany 
and  (the)  geology  or  tells  us  about  the  battles  when  we 

5  visit  some  celebrated  battle_field,  of  which  there  are5  so 
many  in  the  neighborhood  of  Leipsic. 

In  the  last  vacation,  our  whole  class  took  a  walking 
trip  together  through  the  Harz  Mountains  under  the 
leadership   of  one   of  our   teachers.     We  were  in   the 

10  mountains  a  whole  week  and  had  a  very  good  time,  as 
you  can  imagine.  After  we  had  arrived  in  Wernigerode, 
we  hung  our  knapsacks  over  our  backs  and  marched 
through  the  city.  As  we  wished  to  spend  the  night  in 
the  "Brockenhaus"  on  the  summit  of  the  mountain,  we 

15  had  no  time  to  visit  the  city.  During  the  whole  week 
we  were  in  a  city  only  once  and  not  a  single  time  in  a 
train.  We  always  went  on  foot  and  were  in  the  woods 
the  whole  day.  Of  course,  we  learned  very  much  about 
the  trees  and  the  animals  that  we  saw,  for  Dr.  Pauls 

20  explained  everything  to  us.  After  we  had  returned  to 
Leipsic,  each  one  of  us  had  to  write  a  composition  in 
which  he  described  his  journey. 

So  far  I  have  worked  hard  this  year  and  hope  to  be 
promoted  with  a  good  mark.    My  father  has  been  quite 

25  content  with  my  reports,  for  I  have  generally  had  "good ': 
or  " satisfactory."  A  few  times  I  have  had  "very  good'1 
or  "1."  To  be  sure  I  have  had  "5"  or  " unsatisfactory ': 
once  and  once  I  had  to  stay_after_school  because  the 
teacher  caught  me  in 6  a  prank. 

30      Of  our  work  in  the  class  room  I  have  told  you  but

little.  As  I  already  said,  the  teachers  narrate  or  explain 
more  here  than  in  America,  especially  in  the  lessons  in 
(the)  history  and  (the)  natural  sciences.  In  the  lan- 
guages we  pupils  have  more  to  say.  In  our  French  class 
we  speak  most_of_the_time7  and  as  our  teacher  (who  5 
has  been  abroad  several  times  and  speaks  French  and 
English  perfectly)  makes  use  of  the  direct  method,  we 
seldom  hear  German  in  the  class  room.  After  three 
years  I  speak  pretty  well  and  my  cousin,  who  lived  in 
Paris  four  years,  says  that  my  pronunciation  is  excel-  10 
lent.  But  now  I  must  close,  although  I  have  told  you 
comparatively  little  of  our  work  at  the  Gymnasium. 

With  kindest  regards,8 

Your  friend, 

Hans.      15

4.   The  Daily  Program  of  a  German  Student. 

Dear  Karl:  — 

My  brother  Hans  has  just  told  you  what  the  poor 
Gymnasiast  has  to  endure  and  now  asks  me  to  tell  you 
something  about  the  life  of  a  [university]  student. 

Well,  I  must  say  that  we  have  an  easier  time  of  it,1    5 
especially  in  the  first  [few]  semesters  before  we  begin  to 
think  of2  our  dissertation  and  examination.     In3  the 
Gymnasium  the  pupil  is  always  under  the  supervision  of 
the  school;  he  dare  not  cut_a_class,  he  must  always 
have  prepared  his  lessons,  he  dare  not  go  to4  a  restau-  10 
rant  alone  and,  on  the  whole,  the  nine  years  are  a  long 
hard  grind.5    Once  at  the  university,  the  student  is  his 
own  master  and  needs  to  do  nothing  at  all  if  he  does  not 
wish  [to].    He  need  not  attend  a  lecture  from  the  begin- 
ning to  the  end  of  the  semester,  he  has  no  examinations,  15 
he  can  go  where6  he  wishes  and  do  what  he  wishes.    He 
can  leave  the  university  after  one  semester  or  after  ten 
just  as  he  pleases  and  is  the  freest  citizen  in  the  Ger- 
man Empire. 

My  brother  Hans  must  [have]  breakfast  every  morn-  20 
ing  in  summer  at  six,  but  I  get  up  at  six  or  eight  or 
sometimes  not  at  all  before  dinner.  To  be  sure  there 
are  lectures  at  seven  at  the  university  too,  but  we  don't 
have_to7  attend  them.  Sometimes  the  lecture  room  is 
pretty  empty.  I  will  say,  however,  that  most  students  25 
[do]  work  even  if  that  is  not  required  and  even  I  myself 
am  not  so  lazy  as  you  might  think  after  the  above  de- 
scription.    We  feel,  however,  that  we  have  worked  so 

4.  »  we  have  it  easier.  2  an.  3  Sluf.  4  in.  B  ©iiffeta.  6  too&hu

hard  during  nine  long  years  that  we  have  the  right  to 
take_a_rest  and  have_a_good_time.8  Consequently  the 
[university]  student,  especially  the  fraternity  student, 
regards  his  first  year  at  the  university  as  a  period  of  re- 

5  cuperation.  You  must9  (also)  not  forget  that  the  Ger- 
man student  is  older  and  more  mature  than  the  American 
[boy]  who  has  just  gone  through  his  high^school10  and 
is  now  going  to  the  university  for^the11  first  time. 

But  you  would  like  to  know  how  we  spend  our  time, 

10  and  do  not  wish  a  comparison  between  the  German  and 
American  students. 

5.   The  Daily  Program  of  a  German  Student 

{Continued) . 

We  will  imagine  that  I  got^up1  at  seven  this  morning 
to  attend  Professor  Meyer's  lecture  on2  "The  Young 
Goethe."     At  ten  minutes  after  eight  the  lecture  room 

15  is  half  full.  My  fraternity  brothers  and  I,  however, 
form  a  group  in  the  hall  by  a  window  or  walk  to  and 
fro  chatting  until  a  quarter  past  eight,  when3  we  see  Pro- 
fessor Meyer  coming_down_the_hall.4  Then  we  hurry 
to  our  seats  and  help  with^the5  trampling  which  begins 

20  as  soon  [as]  this  favorite  professor  has  entered  the  room. 

Before  the  professor  has  reached  the  [lecturer's]  desk, 

our  notebooks  are  open  and  our  pens  in  readiness  and 

as  soon  [as]  he  begins  to  speak  we  begin  to  take_notes. 

As  he  speaks  very  fast  and  writes  but  little  on  the  black-

board,  we  have  to  be  very  attentive  and  work  fast. 
Sometimes,  when  the  professor  speaks  too  fast,  we  scrape 
[on  the  floor  with  our  feet],  whereupon  the  professor, 
who  understands  this  signal  well,  repeats  what  he  has 
just  said.  We  scrape,  too,  sometimes  when  a  student  5 
comes  (too)  late  and  disturbs  the  lecture.  At  exactly 
nine  a_little_belLrings6  and  Professor  Meyer  stops  with 
the  end  of  his  sentence  and  hastens  from  the  room. 

At  a  quarter  past  nine  I  have  a  lecture  in2  (the)  Eng- 
lish Literature,  at  quarter  past  ten  a  lecture  on2  (the)  10 
History  of  (the)  Philosophy.  Afterwards  we  go  down 
into  the  basement  where  there  is7  a  little  restaurant  and 
eat  our  second  breakfast,  which  consists  of  a  roll  and  a 
few  sausages  or  cold_sliced_meat. 8 

After  dinner  I  go  to  the  German  seminary  [room]  15 
where  I  read  until  four,  then  I  go  to  the  fencing_hall 
where  I  practise  (myself  in)  fencing  with  some  of  my 
friends.  All  members  of  my  fraternity  must  learn  (the) 
fencing  and  practise  at  least  three  times  a  week  in9  the 
fencing^hall.  Once  a  week,  from  six  to  eight,  we  have  a  20 
seminary  in  (the)  Middle  High  German,  where  the  stu- 
dents translate  and  discuss  assigned  passages.  This  ex- 
ercise resembles  a  class  at  an  American  university;  only 
the  preparation  must  be  far  morew thorough. 

6.  The  Daily  Program  of  a  German  Student 

{Concluded) . 

As  [a]  gay  student,  I  do  not  spend  many  evenings  at  25 
home.    Twice  a  week  come  the  meetings  of  my  frater- 
nity.    Tuesdays  we  freshmen  must  be  there  from  eight 

6  eg  fflngelt  (or  fd&eKt).     7  gcben.    8  falter  JTuffdjnttt.    9  auf.

to  twelve,  Fridays  from  eight  to  two  and  then  [it]  is1 
expected  that  we  go  afterwards  to2  some  cafe  with  our 
"Fuchsmajor"  and  spend  another  hour  there. 

During  the  winter  we  go  several  times  a  week  to2  the 

5  theater  or  (the)  opera.  We  students  get  fairly  good 
seats  very  cheap  and  can  indulge  in  this  pleasure  often. 
I  find  that  it  is  very  instructive  and  inspiring  to  attend 
the  theater  and  opera.  I  believe,  however,  that  our 
drama    is    somewhat    more    serious    than    what    you 

10  have  in  most  American  university_towns.  Every  week 
we  have  the  best  pieces  of  Goethe,  Schiller  or  Shake- 
speare, or  of  Ibsen,  Hauptmann  and  other  modern 
writers. 

Every  Wednesday  Hans  and  I  go  to  the  general_re- 

15  hearsal  of  the  Gewandhaus_Orchestra  which  costs  only 
one  mark  and  where  we  hear  the  finest  classic  and 
modern  compositions  and  celebrated  artists.  Saturday 
afternoons  we  hear  the  choir_of_the_St._Thomas_ Gym- 
nasium3 in  St.  Thomas's.     This  is  the  most  beautiful 

20  music  that  I  have  ever  heard  from  any  choir. 

On  Sunday  morning  I  sometimes  go  to  (the)  church 
with  Hans  and  my  sisters.  From  twelve  to  one  we 
make  calls;  after  dinner,  I  go_on4  an  excursion  with  fra- 
ternity brothers  into  the  country.     In_the5  evening  we 

25  generally  have  company  and  there  is  much  playing  and 


singing.6 


And  when  do  I  work?  Well,  I  must  confess  that  my 
working7  lies  more  in  the  perfect  and  future  [tenses]  than 
in  the  present.    This  year  I  am  learning  through  my  ex-

periences.  There  are  so  many  new  and  interesting  things8 
to  learn,  and  I  find  that  (the)  intercourse  with  so  many 
older  and  experienced  men  is  of  the  greatest  value.  But 
I  intend  to  make  my  " Doctor'3  and  [take]  my  state- 
examination,  and  next  year  I  shall  get_to_work9  and  5 
try  to  make  up  all  that  I  have  missed.  Some_time_ 
later10  I  shall  describe  for  you  one  of  our  "Kneipes." 
Now  I  must  close,  as  it  is  time  to  go  to  the  fencing  hall. 

With  kindest  regards, 

Your  old  friend,  10

Unfortunately  I  must  return  to  Halle  Tuesday  evening  5

Dear  Hermann:  — 

That  was  a  surprise!  We  received  many  presents 
to-day  with  the  mail,  but  yours  was  the  best  of  all.  You  15 
can  imagine  how  much  it  pleased  me.  I  had  long 
wished_for6  a  good  edition  of  Goethe  but  did  not  expect 
to  get  this  [one].  My  parents  admire  it  greatly.  I 
hope  you  received  my  little  remembrance  in  time. 

With  the  heartiest  Christmas  greetings  and  best  20

3.  Bremen,  Sept.  24th,  191 1. 

Dear  Professor  [Weber] :  — 

Perhaps  you  know  that  I  have  the  intention  of 
studying1  in  Leipsic  next  semester.  They2  say  there 
isn't  so_much_going_on3  there  as  in  Berlin  or  Munich,  5 
but  that  will  not  hurt  my  studies  in  the  least.  I  intend 
to  elect  a  course  (of  lectures)  with4  your  old  friend,  Pro- 
fessor Braun,  and  I  should  be  very  glad  if  you  could  give 
me  a  letter  of  introduction  to5  him.  Perhaps  you  know 
of  a  good  boarding-house  which  you  could  recommend  10 
to  me. 

Do  you  like  Hanover?  I  shall  doubtless  go  to  Leip- 
sic by  way  of  Hanover,  and  should  like  to  pay  you  a 
short  visit,  if  it  suits  you  and  Mrs.  Weber.6  Unfor- 
tunately I  can  remain  at  the  most  only  a  few  hours.  I  15 
hope,  however,  in  this  short  time,  to  obtain  from  you 
much  good  advice  for  my  stay  in  Leipsic.  You  know 
the  city  and  the  university  so  well,  that  you  can  easily 
tell  me  what  I  should  see  and  hear  and  what  lectures  I 
should  take.  20 

I  hope  also  to  hear  very  much  music  at  Leipsic  next 
winter.  The  Gewandhaus  Orchestra  is  said  to  be  very 
good  and  I  have  heard  that  the  music  in  St.  Thomas's 
is  very  fine.  You  must  tell  me  what  I  ought  to  hear 
especially.  25 

Hoping7  to  see  you  soon  and  with  kind  regards  to 
you  and  Mrs.  Weber,6  I  remain

B.   To  More  Distant  Acquaintances. 

i.  New  York,  July  12,  191 1. 

Professor  Walther  Konig, 

Leipsic. 

Dear  Sir:  — 

I  hope1  you  will  pardon  me  if  I  apply  directly  to  5 
you  in  order  to  learn  how  I  can  obtain  the  permission  to 
attend  your  celebrated  school.  As  I  do  not  know2  (the) 
German  conditions  and  am  not  familiar  with  the  rulesw 
of_admission  of  the  German  Gymnasium,  I  considered  it 
advisable  to  write  to  you  as  director  of  the  school,  think-  10 
ing3  that  you  would  have  the  kindness  to  give  me  the 
desired  information  or  to  refer  me,  perhaps,  to  the  au- 
thorities concerned. 

I  should  like  to  spend  two  years  in  Germany  and 
believe  that  it  would  be  of  great  benefit  to  me  if  I  could  15 
enjoy,  [for]  at  least  one  semester,  the  excellent  instruc- 
tion in  (the)  modern  languages  which  has  given  your 
school  its  great  reputation.  I  hope  to  become  [a]  teacher^ 
of_languages  myself  (later)  and  know  that  I  should 
profit  greatly  by  this  experience.4  20 

Hoping5  that  you  will  not  consider  this  request  of 
a  stranger  unbecoming,  I  remain  (with  the  greatest  re- 
spect), 

Very  sincerely  yours, 

Hans  Heidrich.      25

Dear  Sir:  —  15 

Next  week  I  intend  to  go  to  (the)  Switzerland  with 
three  fraternity_brothers  [of  mine].  We  should  like  to 
obtain  room_and_board2  in  a  pleasant  hotel,  and  should 
remain  a  month  if  it  pleased  us  and  if  the  price  suited 
us.  How  much  do  you  ask  for  board_and_room  per3  20 
week  and  how  much  per  month?  Could  we  expect  a 
reduction  in  case  we  remained  with  you  for  some  time? 

We  should  be  indebted  to  you  if  you  would  answer 
by_return_mail.4 

Very  truly  yours,  25

Pictures  97 

4.   The  City. 

This  picture  represents  a  city.  A  splendid  bridge  con- 
nects the  two  river_banks.  We  can  see  only  a  small 
part  of  the  city,  but  the  handsome  buildings,  the  large 
[railway]station  and  the  street_car_line  show  that  it1  is 
large  and  wealthy.  It  is  always  interesting  to  observe  5 
(the)  city_life.  One  sees  street-cars,  cabs,  automobiles, 
bicycles  and  all_kinds_of  wagons  on  the  street;  on  the 
river,  steamers  are  plying,  rafts  lie  by  the  shore  and  all_ 
sorts_of  small  boats  are  moving  to  and  fro.  Most_in- 
teresting2  are  the  people  themselves  that  one  sees  here;  10 
rich  and  poor,  old  and  young,  in  fine  clothes  or  in  rags. 
There  is3  always  motion  and  noise,  trains  are  passing 
by,  steamers  are  wmistling,  new  houses  are  being  built; 
one  hears  the  hammering,  and  the  rattling  of  (the) 
wheels  on  the  stone  pavement  never  ceases.  15 

In  this  picture  we  see  mostly  public  buildings.  The

I.   LEGENDS   OF   THE    RHINE   AND    THE 
HARZ   MOUNTAINS 

1.   The  Legend  of  Rolandseck. 

One  of  the  most  beautiful  Rhine  legends  iswassociatecL 
with1  (the)  Roland 's_Arch  and  the  convent  on  the 
island  of  Nonnenwerth.  This  lovely  island  lies  just 
opposite2  the  little^town  [of]  Rolandseck,  and  the  "Ro- 
landsbogen ' '  stands  on  a  basal t_cliff  which  towers  up  [a]  5 
hundred  meters  above  the  stream.  With  [the]  excep- 
tion of  this  last  and  only  remnant,  nothing  of  the  castle 
is  (still)  to  be  seen.3 

On  a  neighboring  rock  stood  formerly  the  Drachem 
fels,  Count  Heribert's  castle.  One  evening  Roland,  10 
Charlemagne's  bravest  knight,  came  to  this  castle,  in 
order  to  spends the^night  there.  When  he  saw  the 
count's  daughter,  the  beautiful  Hildegunde,  he  forgot 
everything_else4  and  thought  only  of5  an  eternal  union 
with  the  maiden.  The  inclination  was  mutual,  for  15 
Hildegunde  had  fallen  desperately  in  love  with  the  hand- 
some knight.  Before  the  wedding,  however,  the  com- 
mand came  from  Charles  that  Roland  should  join  the 
army,  as  the  great  emperor  was_about6  to  enter  upon 
his  expedition  to  Spain.  20 

After  a  whole  year  Charles  returned.     Many  of  his

Legends  and  Stories  103 

brave  knights  had  fallen  in  (the)  battle  and  Hildegunde7 
was  told  that  her  lover  would  never  return.  After  she 
had  long  hoped  and  waited  in  vain,  she  took  the  veil  in 
the  hope  that  she  might  forget  her  pain  in  the  peaceful 
convent.  5 

Hardly  had  the  inconsolable  bride  of  heaven  re- 
nounced the  world  when  Roland  appeared  again  at  the 
Drachenfels.  Here  he7  was  told  that  his  betrothed  was 
lost  to  him  forever.  Now  he  had8  a  little  castle  built9 
on  a  neighboring  rock,  from  the  window  of  which  he  10 
could  look  down  at  the  convent  where  his  betrothed,  too, 
was  cherishing  her  sweet  pain.  One  day  he  heard  the 
ringing  of  the  passing-bell.  For  years  he  sat  in  despair 
at  his  window,  but  never  spoke  a  word  after 10  the  death 
of  his  betrothed  had  been  announced  to  him.  His  eyes  15 
remained  fixed  on  the  chapel  of  the  convent  where  the 
fair  Hildegunde  lay,  until  one  day  he  was  found  dead  in 
his  accustomed  seat  by  the  window. 


2.   The  Legend  of  the  "  Rosstrappe." 

[A]  thousand  years  ago1  the  country  around  the  Harz 
[Mountains]  was  inhabited  by  giants.  One  of  these,  a  20 
giant  named  Bodo,  lived  in  the  Boheimer  forest.  Every- 
thing was  subject  to  him;  only  Emma,  the  daughter  of 
the  king  of  the  Giant  Mountains  would2  hear  nothing  of 
his  love.  Neither  strength  nor  cunning  helped  him  [in 
any  way],  for  the  princess  stood  in  (the)  league  with  25 
mighty  spirits.

Legends  and  Stories  105 

One  day  Bodo  saw  the  princess  hunting  in  the  Giant 
Mountains.  He  saddled  his  horse  which  could  leap_ 
over  fields  a_milewwide3  in  a  moment  and  had  almost 
reached  her  when  she  saw  and  recognized  him.  The 
princess  turned  her  horse  quickly,  and  now  they  flew  over  5 
mountains,  cliffs  and  forests  through  Thuringia  into  the 
Harz  Mountains.  At  last  the  horse  of  the  princess 
stood  panting4  on  the  fearful  rock  which  is  called  the 
' '  Witches'  wDancing_Ground. ' ' 

Anxiously  Emma  looked  down  into  the  abyss,  where  10 
deep  below  the  stream  roared  and  eddied.  The  oppo- 
site^ (standing)  cliff  seemed  very  far  away  and  hardly  to 
have  room  for  her  horse's  forefeet.  But  now  she  heard 
Bodo's  horse  close  behind  her5  and  in  her  anxiety  she 
called  the  spirits  of  her  fathers  to  [her]  aid  and  gave  her  15 
horse  the  spurs. 

With  a  wild  leap  the  horse  sprang  safely  over  the 
abyss  to  the  opposite  cliff  and  struck  its  hoofs  four  feet 
deep  into  the  hard  stone  [so]  that  the  sparks  flew.  (The) 
time  has  made  the  hollow  smaller  but  no  rain  can  efface  20 
it  entirely,  and  to  this  day6  the  rock  is  called  the  "Ross- 
trappe." 

As  Bodo  sprang  after  the  princess  in  his  blind  fury,  he 
plunged  into  the  abyss.  Transformed  into  a  black  dog, 
he  still  guards  there  the  heavy  golden  crown  of  the  giant's  25 
daughter  which  had  fallen  from  her  head  into  the  stream. 
And  when  one  walks  at  night  through  the  Bode  valley 
one  can  still  hear  the  low  howling  of  the  giant  who  gave 
the  stream  its  name.

II.    STORIES   FROM   THE   FOLK   BOOKS 

1.   Till  Eulenspiegel. 

After  the  taste  of  the  aristocratic  circles  had  taken1  a 
different  direction,  the  taleswof_chivalry  which  had  first 
been  written  for  the  educated  classes,  became  the  favor- 
ite^reading  of  the  less  educated.  Soon,  however,  more 
popular  characters  like  Till  Eulenspiegel  or  Dr.  Faustus  5 
appear  in  the  folk  books.  From  the  15th  century  on 
these  folk  books  were  written  especially  for  the  people 
and  were  sold  very  cheaply  at  the  markets  and  fairs. 
Although  they  were  published  anew  again  and  again, 
the  name  of  the  author  was  not  generally  mentioned.  10 
These  folk  books  form  an  important  part  of  the  older 
German  literature  and  had  great  influence  upon  many 
of  Germany's  greatest  poets. 

One  might  mention  (the)  "  Eulenspiegel "  as  the  most 
popular  of  the  earlier  folk  books.  Although  this  mad  15 
son_of_a_peasant2  lived  in  the  14th  century,  the  memory 
of  his  pranks  is  still  alive  among  the  [common]  people. 
Among  the  many  stories  which  were  attributed  to  him, 
the  two  following  may  serve  as  examples  of  his  coarse 
wit.  20 

As  Eulenspiegel  was  walking  in3  the  country  one  day 
on  a  very  stony  road,  a  carter,  who  was  driving  his 
horses  on  the  run,4  called  to  him  and  asked  him  if  he 
could5  reach  the  city  before  evening.  Eulenspiegel  told 
him  that  he  probably  could  [do]  it,  if  he  drove  slowly.  25

108  Legends  and  Stories 

Astonished  at6  this  answer  the  carter  thought  that  the 
man  was5  crazy  and  only7  drove  the7  faster.  By8  his 
fast  driving  on  the  stony  road,  however,  he  soon  broke  a 
wheel  and  could  go 9  no  farther.    Towards  evening  Eulen- 

5  spiegel  found  him  in10  almost  the  same  place  where  he 
had  seen  him  several  hours  before.  The  carter  was  sit- 
ting on  the  ground  vainly  trying11  to  repair  his  wheel. 
"Good  evening,  friend,"  said  Eulenspiegel,  as  he  caught_ 
sight^of  the  carter.     "Was12  I  not  right?     If  you  had 

10  only  driven13  more  slowly  you  would  have  reached13  the 
city  long-ago.     The  more  haste,  the  worse  speed."14 

2.   Eulenspiegel  as  [a]  Physician. 

Once  Eulenspiegel  came  to  Nuremberg,  posted  letters 
on  the  church^doors  and  city-hall  and  acted  as  if  he 
were  a  celebrated  physician.     Now  [there]  were  in  the 

15  new  hospital  a  great  number  of  sick  people,  and  the  hos- 
pitaLmaster  wished  very  [much]  to  get  rid  of  most  of 
them.  He  went  to  Eulenspiegel  and  promised  him  two 
hundred  thalers  if  he  would  heal  the  sick.  Eulenspiegel 
told  him  that  he  need  not  give  him  a  penny  if  he  did 

20  not  bring  the  sick  [people]  on  their  feet.1  That  pleased 
the  master  and  he  gave  Eulenspiegel  twenty  thalers 
immediately. 

Now  Eulenspiegel  went  to  the  hospital  and  asked  each 
sick  [person]  what  was  the  matter  with  him.     At  last 

25  just  before  he  left  the  sick  [man]  he  said  to  him,  "What 
I  will  now  disclose  to  you,2  you  must  keep  secret  and  dis-

close  to  no  one."  When  the  sick  [people]  promised  this, 
he  said  to  each  [one]  apart:  "It  is  impossible  for  me  to 
heal  you  all  unless  I  burn  one  of  you  to  powder  and  give 
that  to  the  others  to  drink.  Whoever  is  the  sickest 
among  you,  him  will  I  burn  to  powder  in  order  to  help  5 
the  others.  I  shall  stand  at  the  door  with  the  hospital- 
master  and  call  with  [a]  loud  voice  'whoever  is  not  sick, 
(he)  come  out.'  Don't  you  oversleep  (that);  for  the  last 
[one]  must  pay  the  bill." 

WThen  on  the  appointed  day  Eulenspiegel  stood  at  the  10 
door  and  called,  the  poor  sick  [people]  hastened  to  the 
door  with  their  crutches  and  lame  legs  and  ran  away, 
even  some  who  had  not  left  their  beds3  for4  ten  years; 
for  no  one  wished  to  be  the  last.    Since5  the  hospital 
was  quite  empty  now,  Eulenspiegel  demanded  his  pay,  15 
which  the  master  gave  him  with  many  thanks.6     Now 
Eulenspiegel  lost  no  time,  pretended  that  he  had  been 
called  to  another  city  and  rode  quickly  away.     But  in 
three  days  the  sick  [people]  were  in  the  hospital  again  in 
spite  of  the  wonderful  treatment  of  the  celebrated  Dr.  20 
Eulenspiegel.

Legends  and  Stories  111 

3.   Dr.  Faustus. 

The  celebrated  Dr.  Faustus  was  a  necromancer  who 
lived  in  the  first  decades  of  the  16th  century  and  to 
whom  a  secret  pact  with  the  devil  was  ascribed.     He 
wandered_about  in  Germany  with  all  sorts  of  juggling^  . 
tricks.      Gradually    anecdotes    about    other    magicians    5 
were  transferred  to1  him.    At  last  a  book  was  produced 
from  such  traditions.    Soon  after  the  appearance  of  this 
Faust-book  in  Frankfort  it  came  to  England  and  the 
dramatist  Marlowe  wrote  his  tragedy  of  Dr.  Faustus 
from  this  narrative.      In  Germany  it  was  first  brought  10 
on  the  stage  by  the  English  comedians.     In  the   17th 
and  1 8th  centuries  there  were2  many  dramas  and  folk 
books   with    Faust    as    [the]    principaLfigure.      Finally 
Goethe  treated  Faust's  pact  with  the  devil  in  the  immor- 
tal drama  to  which  he  devoted  almost  a  whole  human_  15 
life,  his  "Faust,"3  one3  of  the  greatest  works  of  the 
liter  a  ture_of_the_  world. 

In  Auerbach's  Cellar,  which  Goethe  often  visited  as  [a] 
Leipsic  student,  he  could  see  at  any  time  the  mural_ 
paintings  which  represented  scenes  from4  the  Faust  20 
legend.  Several  stories  were  localized  here  and  the  poet 
made  use  of  them  later  in  his  great  drama,  where,  to 
be  sure,  the  celebrated  necromancer  has  assumed  quite_ 
a5  different  character. 

One  of  these  pictures  represents  Faust's  ride  on  a  25 
cask.    The  story  runs  as  follows: 

One  day  Faust  was  going  past  Auerbach's  Cellar  with 
some  friends  when  he  saw  some  servants  vainly  trying6

to  lift  up  a  huge  cask  of  wine.     "You7  lazy  fellows," 
said  he  mockingly.     "Can  you  not  lift  a  keg  which  one 
skilful  man  alone  could  easily  bring  up  from  the  cellar?' 
The  owner  of  the  wine  cellar  heard  this  and  said  half 
angrily  to  Faust,  "Come_on,_then,8  you7  giants,  if  one    5 
among  you  brings  up  the  cask  alone,  he  shall  have  it.' 
In  a  moment  Faust  was  in  the  cellar  and  had  seated 
himself  on  the  cask.     In  the  next  moment  he  stood  to 
every  one's  astonishment  with  his  cask  on  the  street,  for 
he  had  ridden  up  the  cellar^stairs  on_it9  as  on  a  horse.  10 
"As10  you  have  presented  me  the  cask,"  he  said  there- 
upon to  the  owner,  "be  so  good  and  have11  it  brought12 
to  my  inn.    We  shall  soon  empty  it." 


4.   Faust  Conjures  Wine  out  of  a  Table. 

In  his  "Faust,"  Goethe  connects  the  story  of  the  ride 
upon  the  cask  with  the  legend  which  tells  how  Faust  15 
conjures  wine  out  of  a  table.  With1  Goethe  it  is  Meph- 
istopheles  who  performs2  the  miracle  while  he  and  Faust 
are  in  Auerbach's  Cellar  with  a  company  of  jolly  stu- 
dents.    Originally,  however,  the  story  ran  differently. 

The  "Volksbuch"  relates  how  a  jolly  company  was  20 
celebrating  the  birthday  of  a  friend  of  Faust's  one  eve- 
ning in  Erfurt.  They  were  all  very  jolly  until  late  in  the 
night  and  were  wishing  that  their  good  friend  Faust 
were  there  too.  Faust,  however,  was  at  this  time  in 
Prague  in  Bohemia.  Suddenly  one  of  them  took  his  25 
glass,  held  it  up3  and  said,  "My  dear  Faust,  I  drink  to4

your  health.    If  it  is  possible  come  to  us  and  don't  de- 
lay." 

After  about  a  quarter  of  an  hour  somewone5  knocked 
at6  the  front_door.  They  ran  down  as  fast  [as]  they 
5  could  and  saw  their  friend  dismounting7  from  his  horse. 
When  Faust  told  them  he  had8  just  come  from  Prague 
and  that  he  must8  be  there  again  before  break_of_day, 
they  were  not  [a]  little  astonished.  Soon,  however,  they 
thought  no  more  of_it,9  and  were  all  having_a_good_ 

10  time10  together  when  Faust  asked  them  if  they  would 
not  like  to  try  some  foreign  wines;  each  [one]  might 
choose  which  [kind]  he  would  like  to  have. 

He  now  had  an  auger  brought11  and  bored  four  holes 
in  the  sides  of  the  table_leaf.     Then  he  stopped  them 

15  with  four  plugs  and  sent  for  glasses.  Now  he  pulled  out 
one  plug  after  another  and  the  desired  wines  gushed 
forth  and  flowed  into  the  glasses. 

As  the  morning  began  to  break  Faust's  horse  neighed 
so  loudly  that  one  could  hear  it  through  the  whole  house. 

20  "  I  am  summoned,  I  must  go,"  called  Faust.  Then  he 
took  leave  of  his  friends,  swung  himself  with  his  horse 
into  the  air  and  arrived  again  in  Prague  before  the  sun 
had  risen.

III.    [STORIES]    FROM    (THE)    GERMAN 

HISTORY 

1.   Rudolf  von  Habsburg. 

One  of  the  greatest  and  best  of  the  German  emperors 
was  Rudolf  von  Habsburg,  who  was  elected  emperor  in 
(the  year)  1273.  He  was  very  severe  towards  criminals 
and  destroyed  in  Thuringia  alone  sixty  castles  of  the 
wicked  robber  knights  who  made  all1  Germany  unsafe  5 
in  the  good  old  time[s].  At  the  same  time  he  was  very 
kind  and  simple  in  spite  of  all  the  power  and  honor 
winch  he  had  won  through  his  wisdom  and  bravery. 
As  he  usually  went  very  simply  dressed,  he  was  often 
not  recognized,  and  had  many  more  or  less  amusing  10 
adventures. 

Once  he  came  from  his  camp  in  simple  citizen's2 
clothing  into  the  city  [of]  Mayence.  As  it  was  a  bit- 
terly cold  day  and  his  hands  were  freezing,  he  stepped 
into  an  open  bakehouse  to  warm  himself.  The  baker's^  15 
wife,  who  was  a  vixen,  took  him  for  a  common  soldier, 
became  very  angry  and  made  no_ceremony3  with  him. 
''Clear  out,  you  shabby  dog,"  she  cried,  "go  back  to 
your  beggar  king  who  is  eating  up  the  whole  land  with 
his  horses  and  servants.  Go  away  or  Tll^pour4  tins  tub  20 
[of]  water  over  your  head."  The  king  laughed  and  re- 
mained quietly  sitting  on  his  chair.  Then  the  woman 
seized  the  tub  and  really  poured  the  ice-cold  water  over 
the  supposed  soldier. 

Rudolf  returned  to  camp,  we  t_  through,  and  related  25

the  adventure  at5  table.  Then  he  sent  a  basket  with 
wine  and  all  sorts  of  dainties  to  the  baker's^wife  and 
told  the  messenger  that  he  should  say  it  came6  from  the 
soldier  whom  she  had  refreshed  with  the  bath  that 
5  morning.  When  the  woman  learned  who  the  soldier  had 
been,  she  hastened  to_(the)7  camp,  threw  herself  at  the 
emperor' s_feet8  and  begged  for  mercy. 

Rudolf  bade  her  get  up  and,  as  sole  punishment,  com- 
manded her  to  repeat  her  scoldings  words  before  all  his 
10  guests.     She  was  not  permitted9  to  forget  a  word  and 
when10    she    hesitated,    the    emperor    helpedjier^out11 
himself. 

2.   The  Education  of  a  German  Emperor. 

-    a.   Emperor  William's  Childhood. 

On  the  27th  [of]  January,  1859,  seventy- two  cannon^ 
shots  announced  to  the  inhabitants  of  Berlin  that  a  son 

15  had  been  born  to  the  crown  prince  Friedrich  Wilhelm 
and  his  consort.  Great  jubilation  resounded  which  in- 
creased when  the  old  field-marshal  "Papa  Wrangel'! 
stepped  out  of  the  house  and  called  to  the  great  crowd, 
"Children,    all  is  going  well,   it   is   a   splendid1   solid2 

20  recruit." 

When  the  news  was  brought  to  the  prince-regent  Wil- 
liam, afterwards3  Emperor  William  I,  that  he  had  be- 
come [a]  grandfather,  he  was  so  [much]  pleased  that  he 
did  not  wait  for  his  carriage  but  sprang  into  a  cab  and 

25  had  himself  driven  immediately  to  his  son's  palace.

Legends  and  Stories  117 

The  parents  of  the  young  Fritz,  for  he  was  not  called 
Wilhelm  until  later,  took  (it  with)  his  physical  and  in- 
tellectual education  very  seriously.  He  was  delicate 
from  his  birth  (on)  and  had  an  incurable  weakness  of 
his  left  arm.  But  the  little  prince  had  to  spend  as  much  5 
time  as  possible  in  the  open  air  in  order  to  harden  him- 
self, and  later  his  energy  and  iron  will  power  helped  him 
to  overcome  his  physical  weakness. 

The  little  prince  soon  became_greatlyjnterested_in4 
the  soldiers  and  nothing  pleased  him  more  than  to  have  10 
himself  saluted5  by  them.     At6  every  opportunity  he 
was  accustomed  to  steal  away  from  his  nurse  and  run  to 
the  sentries  who,  of  course,  had  to  present_arms  before 
the  royal  child.    When  his  father  heard  of  this,  he  com- 
manded the  sentries  not  to  salute  him.    The  next  morn-  15 
ing  when  the  prince  ran  down  in  his  (bare)  stockings, 
the  sentries  continued  to  walk  to  and  fro  and  did  not 
notice  him  at  all.     The  prince  burst  into  tears  and  ran 
up-stairs  to  his  father,  who  told  him  that  the  sentries 
had  received  the  command  to  salute  no  one  who  was  20 
not  [completely]  dressed  in_accordance_with_the_regula- 
lations.7 

b.   Emperor  William's  Boyhood. 

The  boyhood  of  the  young  prince  was  very  happy. 
Until  his  sixth  birthday  he  was  entrusted  entirely  to 
(the  hands  of)  his  mother;  then  he  received  a  military  25 
tutor  whose  duty  it  was  to  have1  him  drill  and  to  make 
a  capable  soldier  out  of  him. 

Whoever   wishes   to   command   must   first   learn   [to]

obey.  Prince  Wilhelm  and  his  brother  Heinrich  learned 
to  obey.  Their  father  gave  their  teachers  the  com- 
mand: " Exercise  no  consideration  or  indulgence  with2 
the  boys,  be  strict  with  them."     (The)  instruction  was 

5  given3  according_to  an  exact  schedule  in_order_that4 
the  prince  might_accustom5  himself  in  his  earliest  youth 
to  order  and  punctuality.  In  summer  the  lessons  often 
began  at  6  o'clock.  In  (the)  free  Jiours  physical  exercises, 
gymnastics, swimming,  rowing,  riding,  etc.,  were  taken_up. 

io  A  little  time  for_play6  was  left  to  the  boys,  however, 
and  then  they  would_play7  Indian  or  go  aboard  (of)  the 
little  ship  in  the  "Jungfernsee''  near  Potsdam  and  fire 
off  its  little  cannon. 

Prince  Wilhelm  was  very  talented  and  learned  easily 

15  and  gladly.  But  the  physical  exercises  caused  him  at 
first  great  difficulty  and  only  through  his  great  will 
power  did_he_succeed8  in  completely  overcoming9  his 
original  timidity  and  awkwardness. 

When  he  was  ten  years  old  Prince  Wilhelm,  in_accord- 

20  ance_with_the_old_custom10  of  the  house_of_Hohen- 
zollern,  entered  the  army  as  [the]  youngest  Prussian 
lieutenant.  How  gladly  would  the  eleven_year_old  boy 
have  accompanied11  his  father  to  France  in  the  war  of 
1870!    When   the   victorious  heroes  returned  to  Berlin 

25  amid12 the  enthusiastic  jubilation  of  the  population,  Prince 
Wilhelm  was  the  first  who  greeted  the  home_comers  at 
the  Potsdam  station.  Deeply_moved,  [the]  grandfather 
and  father  pressed  the  young  soldier  to_their13  hearts.

c.   School  and  University  (Years). 

Prince  Wilhelm  and  his  brother  Heinrich  attended  the 
Gymnasium  at  Cassel.  The  crown  prince  wished  that 
his  son  might^become^acquainted^with1  the  life  of  the 
people  from  [his]  own  observation  and  sent  him,  there- 
fore, to  a  Gymnasium  where  he  had  to  assume  all  the  5 
duties  of  the  ordinary  pupils  and  submit  himself  to  the 
discipline  and  order  of  the  school.  Thus  the  future  Ger- 
man emperor  went  to  (the)  school  in  the  morning2  with 
(the)  school  books  under  his3  arm  and  sat  on  the  same 
bench  with  his  future  subjects.  Already  accustomed  to4- 10 
discipline  and  punctuality  Prince  Wilhelm  was  a  model 
scholar  and  passed  the  nnal_examination  with  distinc- 
tion. To  his  surprise  and  joy  he  received  a  medal  on_ 
account^of  his  industry  and  without  any5  regard  to6  his

Returning7  from  Cassel  Prince  Wilhelm  entered  the 
army  immediately  and  became  a  zealous  soldier.  Be- 
sides_being_in8  the  practical  service,  he  perfected  him- 
self in  the  various  branches  of  military^science  at  the 
militarywschool.  20 

In  the  fall  [of]  1877,  he  entered  the  University  of  Bonn 
where  he  spent  the  next  two  years.  With  his  departure 
from  the  university  his  apprenticeship  was  not  yet  ended. 
Now  he  had  to  utilize  his  acquired  knowledge  and 
prepare  himself  for  his  future  lofty  calling.  With  great  25 
zeal  he  passed  through  all  grades  from  (the)  lieutenant 
to9  general,  and  at  the  same  time  made  himself  thor- 
oughly acquainted  with  the  administration  of  the  state.

Although  the  German  Emperor  is  [a]  soldier  through 
and  through,  it  would  be  a  mistake  to  consider  him  a 
monarch  anxious_for_war.  On  the  contrary,  he  seeks10 
with  all  [his]  might  to  preserve  the  German  people  from 
5  the  horrors  of  a  war.  The  best  proof  of11  his  peaceful  dis- 
position is  the  fact  that  Germany  has  had  no  war  for12 
forty  years.  In  his  speech_from_the  throne  on  June  25, 
1888, .the  emperor  declared,  "In  our  foreign  policy  I13  am 
determined  to  keep  peace  with  every  one,  as  much  [as] 
10  in14  me13  lies.  My  love  for15  the  German  army  and  my13 
position  towards15  it  will  never  lead  me13  into  the  temp- 
tation of  curtailing  for  my  land  the  benefits  of  peace,16 
unless  the  war  is  a  necessity  which  an  attack  upon  the 
empire  or  its17  allies  has  forced  upon  us."18

122  Legends  and  Stories 

1.   How  Charlemagne  Visited  his  School.* 

Once  Charles  the  Great  visited  his  school  and  care- 
fully examined  the  little  folk.  They  had  to  write  and 
spell  for  him,  say  the  Lord's_Prayer  and  the  multiplica- 
tion^ table  and  every thing^else^that1  one  learns  in  (the) 
5  school.  In  conclusion  His  Majesty  called  the  scholars 
around  him  and  then  separated  the  industrious  from  the 
lazy  just  as  a  shepherd  separates  the  sheep  from  the 
goats. 

He  bade  the  good  [children]  stand  at  his  right  and  with 

io  a  severe  glance  and  upraised  hand  showed  the  lazy 
[ones]  into  a  corner  at  the  left.  Then  it  came  out  that 
the  majority  of  the  industrious  pupils  were  plain  burgh- 
ers'_children,  or  sons  of  poor  servants  in  the  emperor's 
retinue   who   were   clothed   in   coarse   linen.      On_the_ 

35  otherjiand  [there]  stood  in  the  corner  on  the  left  many 
fine  gentlemen's_sons  with  their  fur_trimmed  coats, 
many  ill-bred  mothers'wdarlings  and  even  some  young 
imperial_barons. 

Speaking2  mildly  to  those  on  the  right,  the  emperor 

20  thanked  the  good  boys  and  told  them  that  they  should 
have  in  him  a  kind  father  and  gracious  master  even  if 
they  were  poor  people's  children  or  sons  of  servants:  in 
his  empire  the  man  and  not  the  clothes  counted.3 

With  flashing  eyes  he  told  the  lazy  rich  boys  that  they 

25  were3  silk  puppets,  good-for-nothings,  and  that  they 
should  not  rely  on  their  milk-faces.     His  thundering

voice  commanded  them  to  improve  as4  they  were  dis- 
gracing their  nobility,  and  told  them  that  he  asked,  not 
about  a  man's  name,  but  about  his  merit. 

Even  to-day  it  would  be  well  in  the  school  and  in  our 
country  if  one  always  acted5  toward6  the  little  folk  in 
(the)  school  or  the  old  folks  in  the  state  as  did  (it)  the 
great  emperor.  Skill  and  not  favor  should  determine 
the  station,  and  understanding  should  count  more  than 
rank.

I.    THE   OLD   AND    THE   NEW   GERMANY 

1.   The  Ancient  Germans. 

"Well,  Karl,  what  did1  you  learn  to-day?"  asked 
Erich  as  I  returned  from  the  first  lecture  on  the  History 
of  German  Civilization.  "  You  know  you  promised  to  tell 
me  the  contents  of  the  lectures  after  every  class  this 
semester.    It  will  be  (a)  good  practice  for  you."  5 

"AlLright,"  I  replied.  "Will  you  take^notes?  I  will 
try  to  give  you  a  short  account  of  the  life  and  customs 
of  the  ancient  Germans. 

"You  know,  I_suppose,2  that  they  belonged  to  the 
Indo-Germanic  race.  Other  members  of  this  race  were  10 
the  Slavs,  the  Greeks  and  the  Romans.  A  separation  of 
the  various  peoples  took  place  and  the  Germans  went 
to  the  West  and  settled  southward  from  the  Baltic  be- 
tween the  Vistula  and  the  Elbe." 

"Do  we  hear  of  the   Germans  before  the  birth  of  15 
Christ?"  asked  Erich. 

"Certainly,"  I  replied.     "A  Greek  traveler,  a  con- 
temporary of  Alexander  the  Great,  tells  of  the  Teutons 
and  the  Goths  who  lived  at  that  time  on  the  Baltic.    In 
113  B.C.  the  Cimbri  and  Teutons  fought  against  Rome  20 
and   conquered   many   mighty   Roman   armies.     First,

however,  they  had  to  break  through  Southern  Germany. 
The  fear  of3  the  German  giants  filled  the  city  [of]  Rome, 
and  terror  seized  even  the  soldiers  in  the  army.  But 
the  Roman  general  Marius  annihilated  the  enemy  in 
two  great  battles,  and  in  course  of  time  the  Romans  sue-  5 
ceeded  in  forcing4  the  brave  German  warriors  with  their 
blond  hair  and  sparkling  blue  eyes  back  over  the  Rhine 
and  the  Danube." 

"Did  not  the  Romans  try  to  press^forward  and  cap- 
ture German  territory? ':  asked  Erich.     "Yes,  indeed,"  10 
I  answered.     "Professor  Braun  told  how  the  troops  of 
the  Emperor  Augustus  soon  reached  the  Elbe,  and  how 
he  believed  that  he  had  reached  his  goal." 

"Now  let  me  tell  [you]!"  interrupted  (me)  Erich. 
"Now  comes  the  celebrated  battle  in  the  Teutoburger  15 
Forest.  That  was  in  the  year  9  a.d.,  was_it_not?5  The 
Cheruskan_prince  Arminius,  or  Hermann,  became  the 
savior  of  his  country  and  annihilated  the  Roman  legions. 
The  Romans  were  in  despair  and  Augustus  now  re- 
nounced the  capture  of  Germany."  20

Now  a  long  time  of  peace  came,"  I  continued. 
"About  seventy  years  after  the  ' Hermannsschlacht ' 
Tacitus  wrote  his  'Germania'  in  order  to  describe  the 
customs  and  life  of  the  Germans." 

"Germany  must^have^looked1  quite  different  at  that  25 
time,"  said  Erich.     "There2  must  have  been3  swamps

and  forests  everywhere.  Did  not  Caesar  write  about  a 
tremendous  forest  where  one  could  travel  two  months 
before  one  reached  the  end?" 

"Yes,  Erich,"  I  replied,  "there  were  no  cities  and 
even  roads  were  lacking.    The  Germans  lived  in  primi-    5 
tive  blockhouses.     But  they  loved  this  land  even  if  it 
was  wild  and  desolate,  and  it  was  a  powerful  race,  tall 
in  stature,  that  grew_up_from  the  rough  soil. 

"The  Germans  were  generous  and  fearless.     All  free 
men  devoted  themselves  to  war  and  the  chase.     The  10 
women  and  servants  had  to  take_care_of  the  work  in 
the  fields.    In  times  of  peace,  the  warriors  were  lazy  and 
drank  and  played  at  dice  while  the  women  worked." 

"How  did  the  Germans  live?"  Erich  asked  now,  "in 
tents  or  in  houses?"  "In  houses,"  I  answered,  "which  15 
were  built  of  wood.  Unhewn  beams,  standingwupright4 
formed  a  kind  [of]  blockhouse  which  was  covered  with 
straw.  •  It  was  smeared^over  with  clay  outside  and 
boarded_up  [on  the]  inside.  There  was3  only  one  large 
room  and  only  one  door.  This  room  served  as  dwelling,  20 
barn  and  stall,  for  the  animals  lived  under  the  same 
roof  with  the  people.  There  were3  no  windows  and  no 
chimneys;  the  smoke  which  rose  from  the  hearth  had  to

"The  religion  of  the  ancient  Germans  was  simple;  they  25 
had  neither  idols  nor  temples.  Their  worship  took  place 
in  their  holy  groves,  where  they  prayed  to  divine  beings. 
They  believed  in6  a  life  after  death  in  Walhalla  where 
the  brave  warriors  who  had  fallen  in  battle  dwelt  with 
the  gods.     Every  German  wished  to  fall  in  battle  and  30

hated  (the)  death  on  the  sick-bed  which  they  called  the 
straw-death." 

"  There  you  have  the  contents  of  Professor  Braun's

also  somewhat  more  fully." 


3.   The  Most  Picturesque  Large_City  of  Germany. 

Nuremberg,  June  18,  191 1. 
Dear  George:  — 

Do  you  remember  how  we  saw  Wagner's  Master- 

10  singers  of  Nuremberg  last  winter  and  how  we  both  im- 
mediately had  the  greatest  desire  to  visit  this  picturesque 
old  city?  Now  I  am  really  here  and  it  seems  to  me  as  if 
I  had  suddenly  been  carried  far  back  into  the  Middle^ 
Ages.     The  old  city  wall  with  its  countless  towers,  the 

15  quaint  houses  dating1  from  the  fifteenth  or  sixteenth 
century  still  give  a  vivid  picture  of  the  character  of  the 
medieval  imperial_cities. 

Rothenburg  on  the  Tauber,  where  we  spent  a  day  on 
our  way  here,2  was  in^itself3   more  picturesque   than 

20  Nuremberg.  This  little^city  is  really  unique.  Its  wall 
is  still  well  preserved  and  one  sees  everywhere  the  most 
picturesque  old  houses.  Rothenburg  is,  however,  but  a 
small  town  and  can  offer  neither  the  artistic^treasures 
nor  the  literary  and  historical  associations  of  Nuremberg. 

25  We  arrived  here  this  morning  and  immediately  took 
the  long  walk  around  the  city  wall,  without  doubt  the 
chiefwadornment  of  the  city.     This  medieval  fortifica-

tion  is  still  fairly  well  preserved,  although  it  has  been 
removed  in  places,  especially  at  the  principaLgates,  to 
make  the  traffic  easier. 

As  soon  as  we  stepped  out  of  the  station  and  saw  the 
5  broad  moat,  the  high  wall  with  its  numerous  towers  and 
the  red  tiled_roofs  behind  it,  we_experienced_thewmost_ 
peculiar^feeling4  just  as  if  we  were  in  another  world. 
But  the  whistling  of  our  locomotive  and  the  rattling  of 
the  electric^car  in  front  of  the  station  reminded  us  that 

10  we  were  in  the  twentieth  century  and  not  in  the  fifteenth. 
This  juxtaposition  of  old5  and  new5  in  Nuremberg  is  the 
most  remarkable6  and  interesting6  [thing]  that7  we  have 
experienced  on  our  trip. 

Our  walk  around  the  city  wall  was  extremely  inter- 

15  esting.  Every  moment  a  new  and  charming  picture  lay 
before  our  eyes.  Here  the  wall  was  covered  with  ivy 
and  the  moat  [was]  full  of  blooming  shrubs  and  fruit- 
trees;  a  few  steps  farther  one  could  see  beyond_thew 
wall8  the  old  castle  with  its  lofty  towers  and  the  count- 

20  less  red  roofs  of  the  quaintwold  houses.

{Concluded) . 

After  we  had  returned  to  our  point_of_departure  we 
went  through  the  "Frauentor"  into  the  city.  Many  of 
the  buildings  in  the  Konigsstrasse  are  fine  new  struc- 
tures, which,  however,  resemble  the  old  houses  as1  they

are  built  in  the  same  style.  In  the  shop-windows  we 
saw  the  famous  Nuremberg  gingerbread  and  all  kinds  of 
toys.  After  we  had  visited  the  Church  of  St.  Lawrence 
with  its  many  art_ works,  we  went  over  a  quaint^old 
bridge  and  soon  stood  in2  the  market-place  opposite  the  5 
Church_of_Our_Lady. 

The  market-women  were  sitting  everywhere  under 
their  sunshades,  and  the  fresh  vegetables  and  fruit  looked 
so  inviting  that  we  bought  some  strawberries  from  a 
jolly  old  peasant^woman.  10 

In  the  Church  of  St.  Sebaldus,  the  beautiful  bronze^ 
monument  of  the  saint  impressed  us  greatly.  This  is 
the  masterpiece  of  the  celebrated  Peter  Vischer,  on 
which  he  worked  [for]  thirteen  years  with  his  five  sons. 

You  have  doubtless  heard  of  the  'kBratwurstglock-  15 
lein,"  the  little  restaurant  where  Albrecht  Diirer, 
Germany's  greatest  painter,  was  accustomed  to  meet 
his  friends.  It  is  a  charming  little  restaurant  and  we 
stopped3  there  to  try  the  little  sausages  and  sauer- 
kraut. Then  we  went  past  Durer's  house  to  the  castle  20 
which  crowns  the  city  on  the  northern  side. 

The  view  over4  the  quaint  roofs  of  the  city  was  al- 
most more  interesting  than  the  castle  itself.  The  tor- 
ture_chamber  in  the  five-cornered  tower  contains  many 
implements  of  torture,  among_them5  the  iron  virgin,  a  25 
hollow  figure  provided6  on  the  inside  with  pointed  iron 
spikes  which  were  driven  into  the  wretched  prisoner 
when  the  heavy  lid  was  closed. 

From  the  castle  we  descended  again  into  the  city  and

strolled  through  the  streets  past  the  fine  old  houses  of 
the  patricians  and  the  many  artistic  fountains.  Of 
course  we  visited  the  house  of  the  immortal  cobbler 
Hans   Sachs   and   the   Church^of^St.^Catherine   which 

5  served  [for  a]  long  time  as  the  singing^school  of  the 
Mastersingers. 

•  After  supper  we  walked  around  the  wall  again  and 
then  strolled  through  the  older  parts  of  the  city  which 
looked  still  more  picturesque  in  the  soft  moonlight  than 

10  in_the_day_time.7 

To-morrow  we  intend  to  visit  the  Germanic  Museum 
which  contains,  in  about  ninety  rooms,  collections  which 
exhibit  German  life  and  (German)  civilization  from  (the) 
prehistoric  down8  to  (the)  modern  time[s]. 


5.   The  Most  Modern  German  City. 

15  Berlin,  July  1,  191 1. 

Dear  Albert:  — 

We  have  been1  in  Berlin  [for]  a  whole  week  now  and 

yet  we  are  just  beginning  to  become  acquainted  with 

the  city.    One  could  spend  a  whole  year  here  and  even 
20  then  he2  would  not  have  seen  all  the  sights  or  visited 

the  many  theaters  and  opera-houses,  towsay_nothing_ 

of3  the  countless  concert  halls  and  variety  theaters. 
Berlin   is   a   typical   modern   city  with  broad,  clean 

streets,    splendid   lighting,    excellent   transportation^fa- 
25  cilities,  great  factories  and  world-famed  educationalwin- 

stitutions,  conservatories  and  museums.    One  can  hardly

believe  that  in  the  year  1700  whole  herds  of  pigs  used_ 
towrun_around4  on  the  streets,  especially  "  Under  the 
Lindens,"  that  large  trees  stood  everywhere  before  the 
houses  and  that  the  grape-vines  used  to  twine  around 
the  windows  up_to5  the  second  story.  Everything  is  5 
new  now,  everything  moves  fast;  the  comfortable  sleepy 
old  burghers  that  the  English  comic_actors  imitate  so 
often  on  the  stage  are  nowhere  to  be  seen6  here.  Smart 
officers,  distinguished  ladies  throng  the  sidewalks  or 
whiz_by  in  elegant  autos  or  splendid  carriages.  Every-  10 
where  is  life  and  motion.  Berlin  is  probably  just  as 
typical  of7  the  new  Germany  as  Rothenburg  [is]  of  the 
old,  but  it  makes  rather  the  impression  of  a  cosmopoli- 
tanwcity. 

I  will  not  try  to  tell  you  about  everything  that  we  15 
have  seen  or  heard  in  this  short  week.  I_should_then_ 
have^to8  write  a  book  instead  of  a  letter.  Of  course  we 
have  seen  the  emperor.  He  rode  past  with  the  crown 
prince  and  his9  charming  wife  in  one  of  the  great  white 
autos.  When  we  visited  the  royal  palace  he  was  not  at  20 
home.  Erich  asked  jokingly  if  we  should  leave10  our 
cards,  but  I  told  him  it  would  hardly  be  necessary,  that 
the  emperor  would  probably  not  have  time  to  return 
our  call  before  we  left  Berlin. 

From  the  castle  we  walked  under  the  " Lindens'1  to  25 
the  "Brandenburger  Tor,"  then  turned  to  the  right  in 
order  to  visit  the  Reichstag  building  and  the  statue_of^ 
Bismarck,  erected  in  memory  of  the  man  of  blood  and 
iron  who  founded  the  empire.

6.   The  Most  Modern  German  City  {Concluded). 

We  spent  one  afternoon  in  Berlin's  famous  park,  the 
' '  Tiergarten. ' '  First  we  ascended  the  Column_of_ Victory 
and  had  a  fine  view  over  park  and  city;  then  we  went 
through  the  Avenue  of  Victory,  a  broad  street  in  the 

5  park  which  is  adorned  with  thirty-two  marble^groups  of 
Prussian  rulers  and  celebrated  men  in1  Prussian  history. 
From  the  Tiergarten  we  went  to  the  Zoological  Gar- 
den which,  by  the  way,  is  one  of  the  finest  in  the  world. 
There  we  had  supper.    We  then  took  the  car  by  way  of 

io  the  Potsdam  Square  to  (the)  Friedrichstrasse,  got  out 
there  and  walked  through  this  splendid  street  to  "The 
Lindens"  in  order  to  see  Berlin  in  the  evening.  All  the 
cafes  were  full  and  a  great  crowd  of  people  moved  past 
continually.     It  reminded  us  a  little  of  Paris,  and  in- 

15  deed  Berlin  is  beginning  to  compete  with  the  French 
capital  as  a  city  where  one  can  amuse  himself. 

Berlin  is  now  almost  as  large  as  Paris.  Its  growth  has 
been  phenomenal  and  can_be_compared2  only  with  the 
rapid  growth  of  our  American  cities.     In  the  middle  of 

20  the  seventeenth  century  Berlin  had  only  6000  inhab- 
itants, in  the  year  1800  it  numbered  170,000,  in  the 
year  1850,  350,000.  Now,  at  the  beginning  of  the  twen- 
tieth century,  Gross-Berlin  numbers  over  three  mil- 
lions.    It  owes  its  rise  chiefly  to  its  favorable  situation 

25  on  the  navigable  Spree  and  in  the  middle  of  Germany 
where  the  most  important  railway  lines  cross.  In  the 
last  decade  it  has  become  the  first  industriaLcity  of  the 
continent.     Moreover,  Berlin  has  been  since  187 1  the 


6.   l  cuiS  ber.    2  Iftfjt  fidj  .  .  .  herglettfien. 


Germany:  The  Land  and  the  People  139 

capital  of  the  whole  empire  and  not  only  of  Prussia.  It 
draws  everything  to3  itself  now  and  the4  larger  and 
richer  it  becomes,  the5  greater  becomes  its  power_ofwat- 
traction  for  artists,  scholars  and  business  men. 

I  have  only  one6  [thing]  against  Berlin.    It  is  too  new    5 
and  clean  and  enterprising  for  me,  and  I  miss  the  pic- 
turesque old  streets  and  the  quaint  buildings,  which  one 
sees  in  most  German  cities. 

Another  time  I  shall  tell  you  of  the  museums  and  the 
theaters  and  especially  of  our  excursion  to  Potsdam  with  10 
its  charming  surroundings.     As  you  know,  I  hope  to 
study  here  next  winter  and  then  you  shall  have  many 
letters  from  this  magnificent  city. 

With  kindest  regards  to7  your  mother  and  sisters, 

Your  old  friend,  15 

Karl.

II.    GERMAN   STUDENT  LIFE 

1.   The  German  Student  in  the  Seventeenth 

Century. 

We  consider  the  doings1  of  the  German  or  American 
students  of  to-day  rude  or  barbarous  sometimes,  but 
they^are1  relatively  innocent  in  comparison  with  the 
pranks  of  the  German  students  of  the  seventeenth  cen- 
tury. One  would  certainly  be  inclined  to  assert  that  5 
(the)  civilization  has  made  great  progress  in  [a]  short 
time,  if  one  had  read  only  a  little  about  the  German  stu- 
dents who  lived  two  centuries  ago. 

Many  of  the  students  who  had  been  in  the  Thirty 
Years'  War  were  very  coarse  and  seemed  to  find  a  10 
special  pleasure  in  (the)  drinking  and  swearing.  Fight- 
ing and  making_debts  was  the  order_of_the_day  at  the 
universities,  which  had  now  sunk  to  the  lowest  level. 
The  students  used  to  run  through  the  streets  and  to  at- 
tack every  one  who  came  in  their  way.  Often  they  15 
brokejn  doors  or  smashed  windows,  yelling2  fearfully  at 
the  same  time. 

The  poor  townspeople  and  workmen  had  little  pleas- 
ure in3  their  dances,  for  these  were  often  interrupted  by 
the  students,  even  if  this  often  led  to  great  fights  with  20 
the  police.  The  students  would  permit  no  pretty  girl 
to  dance  with  a  townsman.  They  did  not  consider  the 
simple  workmen  good  enough  to  dance  with  their  es- 
pecial property.

Even  the  church  was  not  considered  sacred  by  the 
students.  They  once  brought  a  herring  in  an  empty 
coffin  and  said  it  was  a  deceased  friend,  whom  they 
wished  to  carry  to  his  grave.  One  of  them  then  ascended 
the  pulpit  and  preached  while  the  others  laughed  and  5 
clamored. 

The  customs  of  the  students  were,  however,  not  so 
very  much  ruder  than  the  official  admission  to  the  uni- 
versity. The  ceremony_of_admission,  which  they  called 
"Deposition,"  resembled  somewhat  our  earlier  American  10 
" hazing"  or  the  ceremony_of_admission  of  the  fraterni- 
ties and  lodges  of  to-day.  The  old  students  acted  as  if 
the  new  student  were  an  unplaned  beam  which  they  had 
to  work  with  saw,  plane  and  ax.  These  tools  were  to  be 
sure  only  made  of  wood  and  not  dangerous_toJife  and  15 
the  whole  ceremony  was  of  course  symbolical.  After 
they4  had  treated  the  candidate  fearfully,  they4  gave  him 
an  unappetizing  mixture  to  drink.  At  the  end  of  the 
ceremony,  after  the  freshman  had  endured  everything 
possible,  came  a  feast  for  which  the  new  student,  whom  20 
they  had  just  washed  and  combed  in  the  rudest  manner, 
had  to  pay. 

2.   The  German  Student  in  the  Seventeenth 

Century  (Concluded). 

The  evil_custom  of  "hazing,"  which  was  called " Penna- 
lismus"  at  that  time,  was  still  worse  than  the  so-called

forced  him  to  serve  them  a  whole  year.  During  this  time 
he  had  to  brush  their  shoes  and  clothes  and  perform  all 
kinds  of  menial  services.  The  freshman  dared  not  even 
refuse  to  borrow  or  steal  for  the  upper_classmen  when 
his  own  money  was  gone.  If  a  student  stepped  up  to  a  5 
freshman  who  was  conversing  with  a  pretty  girl,  the 
freshman  had  to  give  up  his  place  immediately,  other- 
wise the  student  would  probably  have  fallen  upon  him 
and  have  kicked  or  beaten  him  [until  he  was]  bleeding. 

When  the  year  was  at  an  end  and  the  freshman  had  10 
asked  for  absolution,  confessed  his  sins  and  condemned 
himself,  a  new  feast  came,  at2  which  he  had  to  wait_on_ 
table.  Of  course  he  had  very  little  of  the  feast,  even  if 
he  did  pay  for  it.  The  students  made3  him  creep  under 
the  table  or  serve  as  a  (riding)  _donkey,  and  gave  him  15 
unappetizing  mixtures  to  eat.  At  the  end  he  had  to 
promise  that  he  would  treat  new  freshmen  just  as  he  had 
been  treated. 

The  students  used  to  take4  their  pipes  as  well  as  their 
swords  into  (the)  lectures,  and  often  had  contests  in  20 
smoking.  These  contests,  to  be  sure,  did  not  take  place 
in  the  lecture  room.  Some  students  could  smoke  fifty 
pipes  or  more.  Such  heroes  received  [the  degree  of] 
" Master  of  Tobaccology.,,  Some  were  graduated  with 
the  [degree  of]  "Doctor,"  but  these  had  to  smoke  at  least  25 
[one]  hundred  pipes.  Many  of  the  drinking  customs  and 
rules,  which  still  exist  in  the  German  "Beer-Code"  of 
to-day,  originated  in  the  seventeenth  century,  a  time 
when5  (the)  drinking  played  a  very  great  part  in  the 
student  carousals.  30

We  must6  not  believe  that  no  students  really  worked 
in  the  good  old  time[s].  It  is  certain,  however,  that  the 
number  of  the  industrious  [ones]  was  relatively  small 
and  that  (the)  most  of  these  did  not  accomplish  much. 

5  Towards  [the]  end  of  the  century  the  universities  came 
again  into  better  repute  and  various  innovations  mark 
the  modernizing  of  the  universities.  During  the  Middle 
Ages  the  professors  had  made  use  of  the  Latin  language 
in  their  lectures  but  now  for  the  first  time  the  Leipsic 

10  Professor  Thomasius  gave7  his  lectures  in  German.  The 
seventeenth  century  had  therefore  brought  at  least 
something  new  in  the  field  of  study. 

3.   The  German  Universities  of  To-day. 

The  development  of  the  German  universities  during  the 
nineteenth  century,  since  the  founding  of  the  University 

15  [of]  Berlin  in  October  1810,  just  a  hundred  years  ago, 
presents  a  splendid  picture.  The  universities  have  had 
an  inestimable  influence  on  (the)  German  civilization 
and  even  upon  the  political  history  and  the  economic 
progress1  of  the  country.     Their_reputation_iswinterna- 

20  tional2  and  they  occupy  the  first  place  among  the  scien- 
tific institutions  of  the  world.  Students  and  professors 
from  all  countries  go  to  Germany  to  attend  the  univer- 
sities, and  bring  the  methods  and  ideals  of  the  German 
university  back  with  [them]  to  their  own  land[s] .    The  in- 

25  struction  at  American  universities  is  based  largely  on 
German  investigation,  and  a  large  number  of  the  pro- 

6  biirfen.     7  fyalten.

Germany:  The  Land  and  the  People  147 

fessors  at3  many  of  our  colleges  have  spent  at  least  one 
semester  at  a  German  university. 

The  German  universities  are  all  state^institutions  and 
receive  a  yearly  appropriation  from  the  government ;  some 
of  them,  as  Berlin  and  Leipsic,  receive  several  millions  5 
[of]  marks  each  year.  While  the  government  administers 
the  economic  affairs  of  the  university,  the  instruction 
and  general  administration  remain4  exclusively  in  the 
hands  of  the  faculties  and  the  individual  professors. 

Most  [of  the]  German  universities  have  four  faculties  10 
[colleges];  namely  the  philosophical  [or  arts],  the  theo- 
logical, the  medical  and  the  faculty_of_law.  One  pays 
no  yearly  tuition;  one  pays  generally  20  marks  for  a 
four-hour  course_ofwlectures,  10  for  a  two-hour  course, 
etc.     Some  public  lectures  and  seminaries  are  free.  15 

The  chief_purpose  of  the  university  is  to  foster  (the) 
science  and  to  lead_on  the  students  to  scientific  work. 
Academic  freedom,  freedom_in_ teaching  as  well  as  free- 
dom^injearning,  is  the  watchword  at  the  German  uni- 
versities. 20 

There  are  twenty-one  universities  and  nine  technical 
institutes5  in  Germany.  The  largest  university  is  Berlin 
with  10,000  students;  among  them6  are  1500  foreigners  of 
whom  about  200  are  Americans.  While  Berlin  has  the 
greatest  number  of  famous  scholars  in  its  various  facul-  25 
ties,  some  of  the  greatest  professors  in  Germany  are  at 
the  smaller  universities.  Naturally  one  sees  more  of  the 
student_life  at  the  universities  of  the  smaller  cities,  for 
in  a  great  city  like  Berlin  even  10,000  students  disappear 
among  the  millions.  30

4.   The  German  Universities  of  To-day 

{Concluded) . 

Most  German  students  attend  two  or  more  universi- 
ties before  their  examination.  In  this  way  they  make 
themselves  familiar  with  various  parts  of  the  country 
and  various  methods  of  instruction,  and  have  an  oppor- 
5  tunity  to  enjoy  the  advantages  both  of  the  great  city 
and  of  the  small  university  with  its  more  interesting 
student  life.  The  number  of  students  in  Berlin  is  much 
greater  in  the  winter  than  in  the  summer  (semester). 
In  Heidelberg,  on  the  other  hand,  with  its  charming  en- 

io  vironment,  the  summer  semester  is  more  popular. 

There  are  no  entrance^examinations  at  the  German 
university.  Any^one^who1  has  successfully  passed  the 
final_examination  of  a  Gymnasium,  Realgymnasium  or 
Oberrealschule  is2  admitted.    But  that  means3  that  the 

15  student  has  had  for_nine_years4  the  most  thorough  train- 
ing under  excellent  teachers,  and  that  he  is  now  able  to 
appreciate  the  lectures  of  the  greatest  scholars;  more- 
over, that  he  is  old  enough  to  use  his  new  academic  free- 
dom and  not  to  abuse  [it]. 

20  The  German  student  does  not  need  to  attend  the  lec- 
tures although  he  must  elect  at  least  one  course  every 
semester.  There  are  no  [regular]  examinations  at  the  end 
of  each  semester,  but  an  examination,  rightly  called  "ri- 
gorosum,"  stands^before  every  candidate  for  the  Ph.D.,5 

25  and  every  student  who  has  the  intention  ofwentering6 
a  learned   profession    must  pass  a  state_examination.

Therefore  even  the  lazy  student  really  begins  to  work  in 
his  third  semester;  he  attends  the  lectures  and  semi- 
naries and  writes  his  dissertation,  without  which  no  one 
is  permitted  to  try  the  examination.  There  is  no  four_ 
years'  course  as  at  the  American  "college."  In  the  philo-  5 
sophical  faculty  the  candidate  may  try  his  doctor's^ex- 
amination  after  three  years;  he  can,  however,  wait  ten  or% 
more  just  as  he  pleases. 

The  German  student  has  many  privileges,  and  the 
years  which  he  spends  at  the  university  are  doubtless  10 
the  most  care-free  and  happy  of  his  whole  life.  Besides 
the  inspiration  which  he  receives  from  the  great  scholars 
whom  he  hears  daily  in  the  lecture  room,  and  the  charm- 
ing life  among  the  students,  he  has  the  opportunity  of 
hearing  the  finest  works  in  the  field  of  music  and  drama.  15 
He  gets  his  seats  at7  greatly  reduced  rates  and  therefore 
is  able  to  go  often  tos  the  theater  or  opera. 

In  general,  it  is2  made  easy  forjiim9  to  acquire  the 
highest  culture  and  lead  the  most  ideal  life,  and  it  is 
chiefly  to  the  universities  and  their  students  that  Ger-  20 
many  owes  its  leading  place  among  the  cultured  nations 
of  the  world.

III.    THE    GERMAN   EMPIRE 

1.   Germany's  Geographical  Position. 

It  is  hardly  necessary  to  mention  that  Germany  is  a 
land  of  the  eastern  hemisphere  and  that  historically  it 
forms  a  part  of  the  old  world.  As  it  extends  from  the 
forty-eighth  to  the  fifty-fifth  degree  of  northern  latitude, 
it  lies  farther  from  the  tropic  and  nearer  [to]  the  polar_  5 
circle  than  the  United  States.  It  has  the  climate  of  the 
cold  temperate  zone. 

Germany's  position  in  the  middle  of  Europe  is  very- 
important  for1  physical  as  well  as  political  reasons.  In 
a  comparatively  small  territory  Germany  has  a  great  10 
variety  of  naturaLformations.  We  find  mountain  land 
and  plateaus  in  the  south,  plain[s]  and  lowjand  in  the 
north.  Germany  has  had,  through  its  position,  a  good 
opportunity  to  observe  all  [the]  political  and  religious 
systems  of  Europe  close  at  hand.  One  might  well  call  15 
the  German  Empire  the  mediator  between  the  culture 
of  the  West  and  East,  the  North  and  South.  It  has 
taken2  something  good  from  every  neighboring  nation. 

One  would  be  inclined  at  the  first  glance  to  divide 
Germany  into  two  great  masses,  for  the  north  is  flat  20 
everywhere  and  the  south  mountainous.  One  sees,  how- 
ever, at3  a  more  careful  survey,  that  the  empire  consists 
of  three  parts,  the  lowland  in  the  north,  the  high_ 
mountainous  Germany  in  the  south  and  the  lower  cen- 
tral^mountainous^region  between  the  two.4  25 

The  coast^land  of  the  north-German  plain  has  many

large  rivers.  These  are  all  navigable  and  splendidly 
adapted  for  (the)  commerce.  In  middle  Germany  rivers 
and  brooks  radiate  in  all  directions,  but  these  are  not  so 
well  adapted  for  commerce  as  for  manufacturing.  Many 
minerals  are  to  be  found  here,  and  the  great  coal-mines  5 
are  very  important  in  the  development  of  this  part  of 
Germany.  The  high_mountainous  Germany  in  the 
south  is  divided  into  large  masses  by  high  mountains 
and  wild  Alpine  rivers.  Here  (the)  progress  has  been 
slower,  for  this  territory  is  less  adapted  to  commerce  and  10 
industry  than  to  (a)  peasant_life. 

In  the  climate  of  Germany  few  extremes  in  (the)  tem- 
perature occur.  The  climate  is  healthy  and  temperate. 
In  the  north  German  plain  one  finds  heavy,  moist  air 
and  much  fog;  sudden  changes  occur  seldom.  The  15 
highlands5  have  dry,  rare  air  and  the  seasons  show  sharp 
contrasts.  Even  in  the  same  season  [an]  abrupt  changew 
in_temperature  often  takes  place.  Middle  Germany  has 
less  fog  than  the  north  and  fewer  abrupt  contrasts 
than  the  south.  There  are  frequent  changes  of  tempera-  20 
ture  but  it  seldom  becomes  too  hot  or  too  cold.  In  this 
climatic  trisection  of  Germany,  middle  Germany  has  [re- 
ceived] the  most  favored  position.  Its  fruitful  valleys 
have  soft,  mild  air,  while  the  forest-covered  mountains 
are  celebrated  on  account  of  their  fresh,  balmy  air.  25 

Germany's  position  in  the  middle  of  Europe  is  per- 
haps more  important  for  its  political  history  than  for  its 
climate.  If  one  wants  to  go5  from  France  to  Russia  or 
from  Denmark  to  Austria,  one  must  travel  across  Ger- 
many.    No  wonder  that  so  many  battles  have  taken  30

place  on  German  territory.  Germany  has  had  almost 
every  European  nation  as_its6  friend  or  enemy,  perhaps 
mostly  as  enemy.  On  three  sides  it  has  open  bound- 
aries over  which  strong  enemies  could  easily  march,  if  it 
5  were  not  ready_for_war  at  any  time.  No  other  great 
power  of  Europe  is  in  such  a  dangerous  position.  A 
strong  army  is  a  necessity  and  now  a  powerful  fleet 
seems  to  be  just  as  necessary  if  Germany  is_to7  main- 
tain its  place  among  the  great  powers.  Germany,  how- 
10  ever,  desires  quiet  and  peace  and  would  not  begin  a  war 
without  reason.  Indeed  the  world  has  (it)  to  thank 
Germany  that  peace  has  reigned  so  long  in  Europe. 


2.   The  German  Government. 

The  German  Imperial_Constitution  is  in  many  re- 
spects similar  to  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States. 

is  Germany  is  also  a  federal  state  which  consists  of  a  union 
of  many  originally  independent  states.  Each  state  has 
preserved  its  independence  only  in  so  far  [as]  this  does 
not  harm  the  welfare  of  the  empire.  The  imperiaLlaws 
take  precedence  over  the  laws  of  the  single  states. 

20  The  head  of  the  union  is  the  Emperor,  in  whose  per- 
son the  unity  of  the  Empire  has  its  visible  expression. 
According  to  the  Constitution  the  King  of  Prussia  is  Ger- 
man Emperor.  The  imperial^crown1  is  therefore  hered- 
itary in  the  family  of  the  Hohenzollern.     The  Emperor 

25  has  the  supreme  command2  over  army  and  navy,  he 
conducts  Germany's  foreign    policy,  declares   war   and

concludes  peace  with  the  consent  of  the  Bundesrat,  and 
convenes  and  closes  the  Bundesrat  and  the  Reichstag. 

The  real  government  of  the  Empire  does  not  lie  in  the 
hand  of  the  Emperor  but  in  that  of  the  Bundesrat  [fed- 
eral council]  and  the  Reichstag  [imperial  diet].  To  be  5 
sure,  the  Emperor,  as  King  of  Prussia,  possesses  great  in- 
fluence in  the  Bundesrat.  This  consists  of  [a  body  of] 
fifty-eight  plenipotentiaries  who  are  appointed  by  the 
single_states.  Each  state  has  at  least  one  representa- 
tive; Prussia  has  seventeen,  Bavaria  six,  Saxony  and  ic 
Wurttemberg  each3  four.  Each  representative  is  bound 
by4  the  instructions  of  his  state;  therefore  all  [the]  repre- 
sentatives of  the  same  state  vote  alike.  The  members  of 
the  Bundesrat  have  the  privilege  of  appearing  and 
speaking  in  the  Reichstag  at  any  time.  15 

The  Reichstag  is  the  parliamentary  representation  of 
the  German  people.  The  election  to  the  Reichstag5  is  a 
secret,  direct  and  general  election.  Every  German  [man] 
who  is  over  twenty-five  years  old  may  vote  and  also  be 
elected.  The  397  members  are  elected  for6  five  years.  20 
It  occurs,  however,  sometimes  that  the  Reichstag  is  dis- 
solved before  the  end  of  this  period  by  the  Emperor  with 
the  consent  of  the  Bundesrat  in  case  the  various  states 
are  not  satisfied  with  the  decrees  of  the  Reichstag  and 
wish  to  learn_the_popularwopinion7  through  new  elec-  25 
tions. 

To  imperialjegislation  and  imperial  supervision  are 
subject  among  other8  [things],  the  postal  and  telegraph 
system,9  tariff^legislation,  emigration    and  the    protec-

tion  of  German  trade  abroad.  In  (the)  most  cases 
the  empire  has  only  to  enact  the  necessary  laws  while 
the  execution  (of  the  same)  is_left_to10  the  governments 
of  the  single_states. 

The  Constitution  of  the  German  Empire  is_built_upu 
upon  the  subordination  of  the  individual  to12  the  whole, 
upon  the  devotion  to13  the  welfare  of  the  entire  nation, 
a  sentiment  on  which  is  founded  the  welfare  of  any 
nation,  be  it  (now)  monarchy  or  (be  it)  republic. 


3.   Army  and  Navy. 

10  Less  than  a  century  ago  the  German  army  played  no 
great  part  in  (the)  European  politics,  and  the  German 
navy  served  as  a  laughing  stock  to  the  other  nations. 
To-day  the  German  army  is  probably  the  most  powerful 
in  the  world  and  the  navy  occupies  a  prominent  place 

15  and  could  assert  itself  against  any  other  [fleet]  with  [the] 
exception  of  England's  incomparable  navy. 

As  we  have  seen  already,  Germany  is  forced  by1  its 
position  in  the  middle  of  the  powerful  European  states 
to  have  a  great  army.    Every  able-bodied  young  German 

20  must  serve  in  the  army  or  navy.  The  time_of_service  in 
the  infantry  is  two  years,  in  the  field-artillery  or  cavalry 
three  years.  After  his  active  service  in  the  army  every 
German  belongs  [for]  five,  respectively  four,  years  to  the 
"  Reserve,"  then  to  the  "Landwehr"  until2  his  thirty- 

25  ninth  year  and  to  the  "Landsturm':  until  his  forty-fifth 
year.     Young  men  who  have  passed  a  certain  examina-

tion  need  to  devote  only  one  year  to  the  active  service. 
These  " one-year  volunteers"  must,  however,  pay  all 
their  expenses  themselves. 

The  training  of  the  German  soldier  is  very  thorough 

5  and  the  service  very  hard,  especially  in  the  beginning. 
First  come  gymnastics  and  exercising  without  arms, 
then  exercising  with  arms,  exercising_in_marching, 
shooting  and  field  service.  Every  year  maneuvers  take 
place  where   several  army-corps   are  brought   together 

10  and  where  everything  goes  on  just  as  if  it  were  a  real 
war. 

The  German  army  costs  the  nation  tremendous  sums 
each  year  and  many  Germans  must  give  up  their  busi- 
ness for  two  years  and  devote  this  period  of  their  life  to 

15  active  service  in  the  army.  The  standing  army  numbers 
about  600,000;  that  means  that  in  Germany  nearly  a 
million  healthy  capable  men  are  continually  taken_out_ 
of3  some  productive  business.  On  the  other  hand,  one 
must  admit  that  the  soldier  years  are  of  great  benefit  to 

20  the  common  soldier.  His  body  grows  stronger,  his  char- 
acter develops  (itself),  he  learns  punctuality,  thorough- 
ness and  reliability.  It  is  often  asserted,  probably  with 
justice,  that  the  German  citizen  is  able  to  accomplish 
more  for  himself  and  his  country  in  eight  years  after  his 

25  training  as  [a]  soldier  than  he  would  have  been  able  to 
accomplish4  in  twelve  years  if  he  had  not  had  it. 

"Our  future  lies  on  the  water."  This  word  of  Em- 
peror Wilhelm  II  is  the  expression  of  Germany's  present 
and   future   development.      Germany   is   becoming   too 

30  small   for  its  rapidly  increasing  population  and   (the)

German  industry  already  produces  very  much  more 
than  Germany  itself  can  consume.  At  the  same  time 
Germany  imports  a  large  part  of  its  food  supplies  from 
other  countries.  Men  and  wares  must  be  sent  over  [the] 
sea;  the  sea  route  must  remain  open  for  the  importation  5 
of  food  supplies.  A  navy  is  necessary,  therefore,  not  only 
to  defend  the  coast  but  also  to  protect  the  new  German 
colonies  and  the  newly  developed  transatlantic  trade. 
Under  Emperor  Wilhelm  the  navy  has  experienced5  a 
surprising  development  and  Germany  can  now  be_rc-  ic 
garded6  as  the  third  seawpower  among  the  great  nations. 


4.   Literature,  Music  and  (the  Plastic  and 

Graphic)  Art(s). 

Long    before    the    German    nation    had    become    so 
powerful  that  the  other  nations  began  to  consider  it  a 
world  power,   German  literature,  music  and  art  were 
world  famed,  and  the  German  u  thinkers  and  dreamers''  15 
ruled  the  world  of  (the)  ideas. 

In  (the)  painting  and  sculpture  Germany  is,  to  be 
sure,  hardly  to  be  compared1  with  Italy,  even  if  one 
might  mention  famous  painters  like  Albrecht  Diirer  and 
Hans  Holbein.  In  architecture,  however,  Germany  can  20 
boast  of  many  splendid  structures.  Where  could  one 
find  a  more  magnificent  building  than  the  Cologne 
Cathedral?  Recently  German  art  has  made  great  pro- 
gress2 and  among  the  famous  painters  of  the  last  decades 
one  finds  many  names  of  celebrated  Germans.  25

160  Germany:  The  Land  and  the  People 

The  three  names:  Goethe,  Schiller  and  Lessing  would 
suffice  to  give  German  literature  a  prominent  place 
among  the  national  literatures  of  the  world.  In  Eng- 
land and  America  German  literature  was  not  appreciated 

5  [for  a]  long  time.  Now  its  influence  is  spreading  rapidly 
and  more  and  more  time  is_being3  devoted  to  the  study 
of  the  German  masterpieces.  In  America,  especially, 
the  study  of  German  literature  has  obtained  [a]  firm 
footing4  and  the  Americans  of  English  descent  as  well  as 

10  the  German-Americans  find  pleasure  and  benefit  in  the 
reading  of  the  great  poets  and  thinkers  of  Germany. 

There  is  one  field  where  no  one  would  venture  to  deny 
the  preeminence  of  Germany,  the  field  of  music.  No 
country  has  brought_forth  so  many  great  composers. 

15  In  no  land  does  music  penetrate  so  deeply  into  the  life 
of  the  people.  Every  little  village  has  its  orchestra  or 
(its)  choral-society.  For  the  German,  music  is  more 
than  a  pastime;  it  is  something  serious,  something 
almost  holy.     Consequently  German  music  has  a  dif- 

20  ferent  character  from5  the  music  of  other  nations.  It  is 
deeper  and  more  fraught_with_meaning6  and  contains 
something  for  all  [the]  moods  of  man. 

German  music  has  not  exercised  its  ennobling  influ- 
ence on  the  Germans  only;  it  has  become  the  music  of 

25  mankind.  All  other  nations  have  been  enriched  by  it 
and  America,  especially,  owes  its  rapid  development  in 
musical  taste  to  the  influence  of  the  great  German  com- 
posers and  to  the  exertions  of  the  many  German  teachers 
who  have  worked  conscientiously  in  every  corner  of  this 

30  great  land  to  make  their  pupils  familiar  with  the  mas-

terpieces  of  German  music.  Even7  if  Germany  had 
contributed  nothing  else  to  the  development  of  the 
American  nation,  the  United  States  would  be  eternally 
indebted_to8  Germany  if_only_on_account_of 9  this  one 
gift  of  German  music.  5 

It  is  hard  to  say  which  form10  of  German  music  is 
most  to  be  admired.  The  great  hoard  of  folk-songs  con- 
tains an  inexhaustible  wealth  of11  melody;  the  symphonies 
of  Beethoven  are  the  loftiest  [thing]  that12  man  has  ever 
created  in  music;  while  Wagner's  operas  represent  the  10 
highest  [thing]  that  has  been  attained  in  the  union  of 
music,  poetry  and  scenic  representation. 


5.    Germany   at  the   Beginning   of   the  Twentieth 

Century. 

One  of  the  greatest  achievements  of  the  nineteenth 
century  is  the  elevation  of  Germany  to  a  world  power. 
How  different  is  the  position  of  the  German  Empire  to-  15 
day  than  a  hundred  years  ago  at  the  beginning  of  the 
nineteenth  century.  From  a  powerless  land,  a  prey  of 
(the)  strangers,  which  seemed  to  be  near^to^ruin,1  has 
arisen  one  of  the  mightiest  states  of  the  world. 

This  development  is  not  only  (a)  political.    To  be  sure,  20 
Germany  had  to  win  recognition  from  the  other  powers 
through  its  success  in  (the)  war  and  (the)  diplomacy, 
and  for  this  a  great  army  was  necessary.     In  order  to 
maintain  its  position  Germany  dare  not  give  up  its  army,

162  Germany:  The  Land  and  the  People 

and  it  stands  now,  at  the  beginning  of  the  twentieth 
century,  as  the  first  military  power  of  Europe  and,  as 
we  have  already  seen,  the  third  sea  power.  It  would, 
however,  be  lamentable  if  Germany  could  boast  only  of 

5  its  army.  One  needs  only  to  think  of  the  great  steam- 
ship companies  of  Hamburg  and  Bremen2  or  of  the  iron 
industry  of  the  Rhine  valley  in  order  to  be  convinced 
that  the  progress  in  trade  and  industry  has  been  at  least 
[just]  as  great  as  in  military  affairs.    From  year  to  year 

10  the  prosperity  of  Germany  is  rising  and,  with  this  pros- 
perity, the  intellectual  culture  in  all  circles  of  the 
people. 

The  great  problem  of  Germany  in  the  twentieth  cen- 
tury is  the  founding  of  new  colonies  and  the  develop- 

15  ment  of  its  trade  with  its  colonies  and  with  foreign^ 
lands.  The  German  territory  has  now  become  too  small 
for  the  German  people.  The  sixty-eight  millions  [of]  Ger- 
mans need  more  land  than  they  now  possess  in  Europe. 
Therefore  the  present  colonial_policy  of  Germany  is  not 

20  merely  a  game;  it  is  a  necessity.  We  have  seen  in  the 
last  decades  how  Germany  has  founded  colonies  in  Asia 
and  Africa.  At  the  same  time  Germany  has  exerted  it- 
self to  win  a  leading  place  in  (the)  internationaLcom- 
merce. 

25  At  the  beginning  of  the  twentieth  century  Germany 
still  maintains  its  leading  place  in  the  field  of  art  and 
science.  Its  laboratories  and  hospitals  serve  the  other 
nations  as  models,  its  universities  and  conservatories  are 
world  famed  and  are  attended  by  students  from  all  parts 

30  of  the  world.    But  now  we  may  no  longer  think  of  Ger- 

2  hamburger  unb  53remer  (as  attrib.  adj.)- 


Germany:  The  Land  and  the  People  163 

many3  as  a  land  merely  of  thinkers  and  dreamers,  a  land 
of  poets,  composers  and  scholars.  Germany  is  no  longer 
so  one-sided.  It  has  now  become  an  industrial  and 
political  power,  and  we  may  confidently  expect  in  the 
future  a  uniform  progress  in  all  fields  of  human  activity.

166  Grammatical  Notes 

Punctuation 

English  punctuation  is  largely  phonetic,  German  punctua- 
tion logical  or  grammatical.  The  following  peculiarities 
should  be  noticed. 

6.  In  German  a  comma  is  required 

(a)  to  set  off  all  subordinate  clauses:  3>d)  toetfe,  baft  e$ 
Wafyx  ift.     £>er  £)err,  mil  bem  id)  fprad),  roar  rrtetn  ^Better. 

(6)  as  a  rule  before  infinitive  phrases;  always  before 
irm  $u,  ohne  gu  and  gu  =  urn  gu:  3d)  bin  f)ter,  urn  ju  lernen. 

7.  In  German  a  comma  is  not  required  before  and 
after  single  parenthetical  words:  ©em  33ater  aber  glaubte 
e3  ntd)t,  His  father,  however,  did  not  believe  it. 

8.  The  hyphen  is  written  thus  (=)  and  is  employed  to 
take  the  place  of  the  suppressed  member  of  a  compound: 
gelb=  unb  ®artenfriid)tc. 

Note:  In  ordinary  compounds  the  hyphen  is  not  used:  ©d)ufl)au3. 

9.  Quotation  marks  are  written  thus  („ "):  „($uten 
WloxQm"  fagtc  er. 

10.  An  exclamation  point  commonly  follows 

(a)  a  command:  ^ontmen  ©tc!     9Iitfo,e(tanben! 
(h)  the  address  of  a  letter:  £teber  better!     <£>ehr  g,c~ 
ehrter  §err! 

The  Articles 

11.  The  definite  article  is  used 

(a)  with  the  names  of  days  and  months:  tm  3unt, 
am  90?ontaa. 

Note:  In  these  and  similar  set  expressions,  usage  demands  the 
contraction  of  the  preposition  and  article:  am  ?Ibcnb;  jum  erften  Tlak; 
jum  5(benbeffen,  etc. 


Grammatical  Notes  167 

(b)  distributively:  jtoetmri  baS  3af)r,  twice  a  year; 
30  9)torf  ben  Sftonat,  30  marks  a  month. 

(c)  instead  of  a  possessive  pronoun  when  no  am- 
biguity can  arise.  This  is  usually  the  case  in  speaking  of 
parts  of  the  body  and  of  clothing:  (5r  fyat  em  33ud)  in  ber  £>anb. 

(d)  with  nouns  used  in  a  general  sense:  £)er  SDtfenfd) 
tft  fterbltd),  Man  is  mortal. 

(e)  with  proper  names  when  preceded  by  adjectives: 
£)cr  ftetne  9fttitter. 

(/)  often,  colloquially,  with  proper  names:  3d)  fagte 
e3  ber  £>ebnrig. 

12.  The  indefinite  article  is  not  used  after  neuter  verbs 
with  unmodified  nouns  denoting  occupation,  religion  or 
condition:  3$  bin  ?ef)rer.  @r  tft  (Stubent.  Sr  tft  ^rote* 
ftant.     But  @r  tft  etn  tiidjtiger  8ef>rer. 

Nouns 

13.  After  nouns  of  quantity  or  measurement,  the 
article  measured  follows  immediately  without  preposi- 
tion and  without  case  declension:  etn  ©IctS  53ier;  Stoet  Xctffen 
$affee;  etne  SD^engc  ?eute. 

Note  i:  If  the  noun  of  quantity  or  measurement  is  masculine  or 
neuter,  it  is  always  used  in  the  singular:  jmei  ($la$  SBter;  brei  ©tfttf; 
jtuet  Jufj  i)o<i).  The  feminine  noun  yjlavt  is  not  inflected:  ®g  foftet  brei 
Wlavt. 

Note  2:  The  uninflected  form  is  likewise  used  after  Dolt  (oolTer): 
gin  $orb  dotf  93rotd)eti. 

14.  A  noun  denoting  a  part  of  the  body,  of  clothing  or 
of  equipment,  if  occurring  in  the  same  objective  relation 
to  each  of  several  subjects,  generally  stands  distributively 
in  the  definite  singular.  Cf.  11  c.  ©ie  fefcten  ben  timber 
auf,  They  put  on  their  high  hats.  3)te  ©otbaten  nafnnen  ben 
4?euii  ah,  The  soldiers  took  of  their  helmets.

15.  The  plural  of  family  names  is  usually  formed  in  3, 
as  in  English:  too  (Me)  2Btenf)olb3  toofynten. 

Pronouns 

16.  Pronouns  are  used  in  the  gender  of  the  noun  to 
which  they  refer:  2Bo  ift  ber  £)ainpfer?    3d)  fe^e  ifyn. 

17.  For  personal  or  demonstrative  pronouns  not  re- 
ferring to  persons  and  governed  in  the  dative  or  accusa- 
tive by  a  preposition,  the  German  commonly  substitutes 
a  compound  of  ba  (before  vowels  bar=)  and  the  preposi- 
tion in  question: 

(Sin  Xifcf)  mit  SBiidjern  bctrauf. 

18.  For  interrogative  and  optionally  for  relative  pro- 
nouns not  referring  to  persons,  a  compound  of  too  (before 
vowels  toot-)  is  substituted: 

2£ot>on  fpradjen  Ste?    23on  bent  33alf,  rootntt  (or  mit 

bent)  er  fptelte. 
Of  what  were  you  speaking?    Of  the  ball  with  which 

he  was  playing. 

Note:  The  accusative  neuter  can  be  used  after  certain  prepositions: 
$itr  tt>a3  =  SBofiir.     ^tir  toa3  fjalten  ©ic  mid)?     What  do  you  take  me  for? 

19.  (a)  The  relative  pronoun  cannot  be  omitted: 

3>r  9Wcmn,  ben  (h)clcr)cn)  ttrir  geftern  fafyen. 
The  man  we  saw  yesterday. 

(b)  The  relative  pronouns  bet  and  toeldjcr  may  be 
used  interchangeably  except  in  the  genitive  case.  How- 
ever, the  forms  of  bcr  are  preferred  in  all  cases  in  colloquial 
German : 

£>er  SDtonn,  ben  (tocldjcn)  nrir  fafyen. 

£)er  9Q?ann,  beffen  (not  tDeW)e3)  ©ofnt  fair  faljen. 

Note:  When  the  antecedent  is  a  neuter  pronoun  or  adjective,  or  a 
clause,  ttm£  is  used  for  tt>cld)c£  or  ba£.    2lIIe3,  tva$  id)  rjatte,  A 11  that  I  had. 


Grammatical  Notes  169 

Cases 

20.  The  genitive  is  used  adverbially  to  express  indefi- 
nite time: 

Qnne3  2(benb3  (abenbs,  morgenS,  tags). 

Note  i  :  The  English  use  of  the  genitive  with  of  is  expressed  in 
various  ways,  for  example:  The  King  of  Prussia,  £)er  $dntg  Don  ^reu^ 
feen,  The  streets  of  Paris,  3)te  ^artfer  (Strafeen.  Generally,  however, 
the  genitive  case  without  a  preposition  may  be  used:  £)ie  altcn  ^>'6.\x- 
(er  ber  <Stabt,  The  old  houses  of  the  city. 

Note  2:  When  proper  names  form  the  genitive  in  -3,  no  apos- 
trophe is  used:  ^)etne3  93rtefe,  Heine's  Letters. 

21.  The  dative  is  often  used 

(a)  instead  of  the  possessive,  especially  when  no 
ambiguity  is  possible. 

(Sr  hat  fid)  ba3  33cin  gcbrocbm 
He  has  broken  his  leg. 

(b)  After  fagen,  511  is  generally  used  with  the  dative 
when  the  words  actually  said  are  quoted;  otherwise  the 
dative  without  511  is  generally  used: 

(£r  fagte  m  mir:  rrlomm  mtt!" 
(Sr  fagte  mir,  icf)  folic  raitfornrnert. 

(c)  As  the  German  denotes  the  case  by  the  case- 
ending,  it  is  often  not  necessary  to  use  the  preposition  511: 

3d)  gab  e3  metnem  33ruber. 
/  gave  it  to  my  brother. 

22.  The  accusative  is  used 

(a)  to  express  definite  time  or  extent  of  time: 
Sftadjfte  SSodfje;  bretfu'g  £agc  giiltig;  cm  ganged  ©emeftcr. 

Note:  Letters  are  dated  in  the  accusative:  £eip$ig,  b.  30.  3uni, 
1911  (  =  ben  breifjigften  Sunt), 

{b)   to  express  extent  of  space: 

(Sin  fcaar  ^trafeen  entfernt,  a  few  blocks  distant. 


170  Grammatical  Notes 

(c)   in  absolute  constructions: 

(Er  fafe  ba,  em  53ud)  in  ber  §cmb. 

@r  fam  herein,  bie  §anb  sunt  ®mfee  auSgeftrecr't. 

#e  cawg  in  {with)  his  hand  stretched  out  in  greeting. 

Verbs 

23.    The  German  has  no  emphatic  or  progressive  form 
corresponding  to  the  English  I  do  go  or  I  am  going. 


3$  aef)e  = 


/  went. 
I  did  go. 
k  /  was  going. 


I  go. 

■  I  do  go.  3d)  0tng  = 

k  /  am  going. 

24.  The  passive  is  less  used  in  German  than  in  English. 
Instead  of  it  may  be  used: 

(a)  the  construction  with  man: 
9Jmn  fagt,  =  it  is  said. 

(b)  the  reflexive: 

(S3  finbet  fid)  bort,  it  is  found  there. 

25.  The  present  tense  is  often  used: 

(a)  for  the  English  future: 

2ftorgm  finb  nnr  in  Hamburg. 
To-morrow  we  shall  be  in  Hamburg. 

(b)  for  the  English  perfect,  where  the  verbal  ac- 
tion still  continues: 

2Ste  fcmge  finb  ©ie  in  SBcrlin? 
How  long  have  you  been  in  Berlin? 

26.  The  future  and  future  perfect  are  used  sometimes 
to  express  conjecture  or  probability: 

~       .  ,        Y<    .,  ,     t  I  He  doubtless  often  thinks. 

Gr  totrb  roobl  oft  oenfen«=     TT  M    ri      ±1 .  , 

He  must  ojten  thinr. 


Grammatical  Notes  171 


(Sr  toirb  toofjl  oft  gebac^t  (jabcn  = 


/7e  doubtless  often  thought. 
He  must  often  have  thought. 


27.  In  conversation  the  perfect  is  often  used  instead  of 
the  more  formal  preterit: 

£>eute  bin  icf)  urrt  acbt  acfornrnen. 
To-day  I  came  at  eight. 

Note:  As  a  rule  the  perfect  gives  the  simple  statement  of  a  fact, 
the  report  of  an  occurrence;  the  preterit  is  used  in  narrative  style  in 
telling  about  an  event  or  relating  a  story. 

28.  The  imperative  is  often  expressed  by 

(a)  the  infinitive: 
Sluffteben!  Get  up! 

(b)  the  perfect  participle: 
9(ufgeftanben!  Get  up! 

29.  The  infinitive  is  often  used  in  a  passive  sense 

(a)  with  5U  in  the  predicate  after  some  form  of  feui. 
yiid)t$  mera*  toar  ^u  bcfora.cn. 

Nothing  more  was  to  be  attended  to. 

(b)  when  transitive  verbs  are  used  with  laffen  in 
the  sense  of  "  to  cause  something  to  be  done." 

(Sr  tte&  ben  Xurrn  bauen. 
He  had  the  tower  built. 

Note:  The  use  of  511  with  the  infinitive  in  German  corresponds 
as  a  rule  to  the  practice  in  English.  After  all  modal  auxiliaries  511 
is  omitted.    3d)  ftninfcfye  $u  gefyen.     3d)  totll  gehen. 

30.  The  chief  uses  of  the  subjunctive,  and  those  to 
which  nearly  all  minor  uses  may  be  referred,  are: 

I.    The  subjunctive  in  indirect  discourse  (cf.   (a)  be- 
low) : 

§err  33.  fagre,  baft  c£  loarjr  fei. 


172 


Grammatical  Notes 


II.  The  subjunctive  in  conditions  contrary  to  fact  (cf. 
(b)  below): 

SSenn  id)  (Mb  bcttte,  fo  amge  id). 

(a)  After  verbs  of  saying,  thinking,  asking  and  the 
like,  the  indirect  statement  is  usually  put  into  the  sub- 
junctive. After  a  present  tense,  however,  or  when 'the 
statement  is  conceded,  the  indicative  is  often  used. 

The  present  and  future  tenses  of  the  original  speaker 
are  rendered  by  the  present  and  future  tenses  of  the  sub- 
junctive; any  past  tense  of  the  speaker,  by  the  perfect 
subjunctive. 

Note  i:  If  the  present  subjunctive  form  is  not  distinguishable 
from  the  indicative,  or  the  perfect  subjunctive  form  from  the  per- 
fect indicative,  the  preterit  subjunctive  is  used  in  the  one  case,  the 
pluperfect  in  the  other. 

Note  2:  Especially  in  Northern  Germany,  the  preterit  and  plu- 
perfect subjunctives  are  often  used  instead  of  present  and  perfect 
subjunctives,  and  the  present  conditional  for  the  future.

(b)  1.  A  present  condition  contrary  to  fact  is  rendered 
by   the   preterit   subjunctive   in   the   condition,    and   the 


Grammatical  Notes  173 

preterit  subjunctive  or  present  conditional  in  the  conclu- 
sion: 

SSBenn  id)  0>>clb  batre,  1      \  fo  ginge  id). 
or  ^fttte  id)  ©elb,  \  fo  toiirbe  id)  gcben. 

2.  A  past  condition  contrary  to  fact  is  rendered  by 
the  pluperfect  subjunctive  in  the  condition,  and  the  pluper- 
fect subjunctive  or  perfect  conditional  in  the  conclusion: 


SSenn  id)  ©elb  gcbabt  batte, 
or  £>attc  id)  (Mb  gcbabt, 


fo  rocire  id)  geganam. 

fo  roiirbe  id)  gegangen  fetn. 


Note  i:  The  condition  may  be  understood  and  only  the  conclu- 
sion expressed: 

SSte  frfidn  metre  has!  /an       ,,     . ,  ^ ..    N 

2Bte  fd)on  rourbe  ba#  fan!  J 

Note  2:  The  conclusion  may  be  understood  and  only  the  condi- 
tion expressed:  2Benn  id)  nur  rcirf)  loare! 

31.  (a)  When  the  perfect  or  pluperfect  of  a  modal 
auxiliary  is  accompanied  by  the  infinitive  of  another  verb, 
the  past  participle  of  the  modal  auxiliary  assumes  the 
form  of  an  infinitive: 

3d)  fjabe  gefonnt,  /  have  been  able. 
but  3d)  babe  gehen  fonncn,  /  have  been  able  to  go. 

(b)  After  a  modal  auxiliary  an  adverb  or  adverbial 
prefix  or  phrase  denoting  direction  is  often  used  without 
the  dependent  verb  of  motion: 

-3d)  toifl  mtt  =  3d)  tottt  mttgeben. 

32.  The  English  present  participle  can  seldom  be  ren- 
dered by  the  corresponding  present  participle  in  German: 
It  is  usually  replaced  by 

(a)  the  finite  verb  in  a  coordinate  clause,  if  the  parti- 
cipial idea  is  as  important  as  that  contained  in  the  verb: 

(£r  ftanb  ba  imb  fab  bm  .ftnaben  an. 
He  stood  there  looking  at  the  boy. 


174  Grammatical  Notes 

(b)  the  finite  verb  in  a  subordinate  clause,  introduced 
by  a  conjunction  such  as  at£,  nadjbcm,  totifyrenb,  tnbem,  ha, 

in  expressing  adverbial  relations  of  time,  cause  or  manner: 

„$roft!  Gmdj,"  fagte  id),  tnbem  id)  mem  ©la3  er&ob. 
" Prost,  Erich!"  I  said,  lifting  my  glass. 
3nbem  id)  fjoffe,  ©ic  batb  m  fetjem 
Hoping  to  see  you  soon. 

(c)  a  relative  clause: 

3>r  £>err,  ber  auf  bem  SBatjnfteig  ftef)t 
The  man  standing  on  the  platform. 

(d)  an  adjective: 

£raurtg  iiber  fcincn  33ertuft,  ghtg  er  nad)  §aufe. 
#e  we«/  home  mourning  his  loss. 

(e)  the  infinitive:

(58  gelang  ben  greunben,  cincn  atten  gafjrmann  m  ftnbett. 

77^  friends  succeeded  in  finding  an  old  ferryman. 

(/)   the  perfect  participle:

3lm  53afmf)of  angetangt,  Arriving  at  the  station. 
$on  $affet  mriicf  gefefyrt,  After  returning  from  Cassel. 

(g)  a  noun: 
S)a8  <Smgen  t)on  £tebern,  The  singing  of  songs. 

Word  Order 

The  Finite  Verb 

33.  There  are  three  kinds  of  word  order:  normal,  in- 
verted and  transposed,  according  to  the  relative  position 
of  the  finite  verb  and  its  subject.     In  the  following  the 


Grammatical  Notes  175 

term  "verb"  refers  to  the  inflected,  personal  verb,  i.e.  the 
verb  itself  in  simple  tenses,  and  the  auxiliary  in  compound 
tenses.  The  term  "subject"  includes  the  subject  and  its 
modifiers. 

Note:  In  a  compound  sentence  the  main  clause  has  only  normal 
or  inverted  order,  the  dependent  clause,  as  a  rule,  the  transposed 
order.  Accordingly  the  student  should  analyze  compound  sentences 
before  translating,  so  as  to  be  sure  which  is  the  main  and  which  the 
subordinate  clause. 

34.  The  normal  order:  The  verb  follows  the  subject 
immediately.    This  is  used  in 

(a)  independent,  declarative  sentences: 

(5r  tarn  geftern.    Xtx  9ttcmrt,  ben  idfj  rjeute  faf),  tft  geftern 
gefommen. 

(b)  interrogative  sentences  beginning  with  a  subject 
pronoun: 

3£er  tft  ber  aWonn? 

35.  The  inverted  order:  The  verb  precedes  the  subject. 
This  is  used 

(a)  when  any  element  other  than  the  subject  begins 
the  sentence.  This  element  may  be  a  single  word,  a 
phrase,  a  clause  or  a  whole  sentence. 

©eftern  fam  er. 

?lu$  biefem  93ucf)e  fcmn  id)  ntdjtS  Icrnen. 

2113  er  fam,  toar  e$  m  fpcit. 

Note  i  :  Itnb,  benn,  obcr,  abcr,  fonbcrn,  alletn  do  not  cause  inver- 
sion or  transposition,  for  they  are  coordinating  conjunctions,  and 
really  connect  two  sentences  in  the  normal  order:  (?r  fam  geftern  nacf) 
§aufc,  abcr  fern  greunb  fam  nidjt  mtt 

Note  2:  Parenthetical  and  exclamatory  words  like  namlidi,  bod), 
\a,  ncin  likewise  do  not  cause  inversion:  (Sr  tft  ntd)t  fjier.  IDod),  er 
fam  geftern.    $ommft  bu  mtt?    3a,  id)  fomme. 


176  Grammatical  Notes 

(b)  in  independent  questions,  except  those  beginning 
with  a  subject  pronoun  (cf.  34b): 

$am  er  geftern? 

3ft  er  geftern  gefommen? 

(c)  to  express  a  condition  when  roetm  is  omitted: 
$ommt  er  Ijcute,  fo  fetje  id)  tytt. 

(d)  in  imperative  sentences: 
£efen  ©ie  bct3  53ud). 

(e)  in  exclamatory  sentences: 

$am  er  bod)  geftern  aftein  an!    For  did  he  not  arrive  all 

alone  yesterday! 
(SBBie)  lieft  ber  aber  fd)on!    How  well  he  reads! 

36.  The  transposed  order:  The  verb  stands  at  the  end 
of  the  clause.  This  occurs  in  dependent  clauses  introduced 
by 

(a)  a  subordinating  conjunction  like  dt$,  bet,  baft,  ttt= 
bem,  ob,  roeil,  etc.:  3d)  toeifj,  bafc  er  geftern  tarn. 

Note  i:  When  bajj  is  omitted,  the  normal  order  is  used:  3d)  roetfi, 
er  fam  geftern. 

Note  2:  When  hjenn  in  conditions  is  omitted,  the  inverted  order 
is  used  (cf.  35  c):  £atte  id)  ©etb,  fo  gtnge  id). 

Note  3:  With  the  double  infinitive  participial  construction  (31a), 
the  finite  verb  comes  just  before  the  two  infinitive  forms  in  trans- 
posed order:  3d)  toetJ3,  bctfj  er  geftern  f)atte  fommen  fonnen. 

(b)  a  relative  pronoun  or  relative  compound: 

£)a3  ift  ber  §err,  ber  geftern  gefommen  ift. 
£)a£  ift  ba%  53ud),  toortn  id)  geftern  la3. 

(c)  in  exclamatory  sentences  beginning  with  an  inter- 
rogative: SBte  fd)5n  ber  aber  fteft!  (cf.  35  e),  How  well  he 
reads! 


Grammatical  Notes  177 

The  Non-finite  Part  of  the  Verb  and  the  Separable 

Prefix 

37.  In  the  normal  and  inverted  orders,  the  participle 
or  infinitive  in  compound  tenses,  the  participle  in  the 
passive  voice  or  the  separable  prefix  in  compound  verbs 
comes  last  in  its  clause,  a  participle  preceding  an  infini- 
tive, and  both  preceded  by  the  separable  prefix: 

(5r  tarn  gcftern  an. 

(Sr  tft  geftern  angcfommen. 

(Sr  totrb  morgcn  anfommen. 

C?r  totrb  morgcn  angefommen  fein. 

Note:  The  dependent  infinitive,  with  or  without  511,  comes  at  the 
end  of  its  clause :  2Bir  tooltten  nadj  Hamburg  fafyren;  2Bir  toiinfcfyten  natf) 
Hamburg  ju  fahren. 

38.  In  the  transposed  order,  where  the  finite  verb 
stands  at  the  end,  the  uninfected  part  of  the  verb  im- 
mediately precedes  it: 

3d)  toetfe,  bafc  er  geftern  ongefommen  tft. 

The  Other  Elements 

39.  The  position  of  the  other  elements  is  practically 
the  same  in  all  three  word  orders.  This  position  is  usually, 
but  not  invariably,  that  indicated  in  the  following  para- 
graphs; it  may  vary,  depending  upon  the  emphasis  given 
individual  words  and  the  usage  of  the  individual  speaker. 

Note:  The  more  important  elements  tend  toward  the  end  of  the 
sentence. 

40.  Pronoun  objects. 

(a)  The  accusative  of  the  personal  pronoun  precedes 
the  dative: 

£>ier  ift  Me  Seber,  ten  fdjenfe  fie  Mr. 


178  Grammatical  Notes 

(b)  The  pronoun  object  precedes  the  noun  object: 
3d)  fdjenfe  Mr  bte  geber. 

(c)  (£3  and  fid)  are  interchangeable  and  precede  all 
other  pronouns: 

@r  f)ot  e3  trmen  ergar^lt; 
(gr  B)at  fid)  tfynen  uorgeftellt; 
(£r  I)atte  e3  fid)  anber3  Dorgeftettt; 
or  @r  fyatte  fid)'3  anberS  uorgeftellt 

Note:  In  inverted  or  transposed  order,  the  personal  pronoun  ob- 
ject often  precedes  the  noun  subject:  £)a  aab  tf)m  ber  SD?amt  etnen  93atL 

41.  Noun  objects:  In  general, 

(a)  the  dative  of  a  person  precedes  the  accusative  of  a 
thing: 

(£r  gab  bem  Marine  einen  33rief. 

(b)  if  both  objects  are  persons,  or  both  are  things,  the 
accusative  usually  precedes  the  dative: 

G?r  iibergab  fe inert  ©ofm  bem  £ef)rer. 
(Sr  roibmete  feme  $raft  ber  ©dmle. 

(c)  the  accusative  object  precedes  the  genitive  object: 
@r  beraubte  ben  (Garten  feiner  93lumen. 

(d)  the  simple  object  usually  precedes  the  object  with 
a  preposition: 

3d)  fyabc  ein  33ud)  t)on  bir. 

42.  Attributive  adjectives  and  participles  precede  the 
nouns  they  modify  and  are  preceded  by  their  own  modi- 
fiers: 

@8  ift  ein  fmnbcrt  2Nctcr  fabcr  Xurm. 

£)te  auf  bem  Sfteere  fdiraimmenbc  glotte. 

£)te  in  bem  fcorfKraebcnbcn  Semite!  befd)riebene  ©tabt. 


Grammatical  Notes  179 


43.   Adverbs: 


(a)  Adverbs  or  adverbial  phrases  of  time  precede  those 
of  place,  manner  or  degree,  and  usually  precede  the  noun 
objects: 

C?r  gtng  heute  fehr  fang  fam  nadj  §aufe. 
(5r  hat  mtr  geftern  etnen  Xater  gegeben. 

(b)  In  the  normal  order  the  adverb  may  not  stand  be- 
tween the  subject  and  the  finite  verb: 

3d)  arbette  tmmer  gut;  not  id)  tmmer  arbeite  gut. 

(c)  The  subject  and  verb  may,  however,  be  separated 
by  such  words  as  after,  alfu,  aud),  bagegen,  inbeffen,  jebud), 
namUd). 

3>r  SQcann  aber  tuoftte  e3  nidjt. 

(d)  In  the  inverted  order  an  adverbial  modifier  may 
stand  between  the  verb  and  the  noun  subject: 

Ta  fam  aan$  plot^td)  ber  2)?ann. 

Note:  A  sentence  may  not  begin  with  two  adverbial  modifiers 
unless  they  really  form  one  element:  (Geftern  fam  er  hter  an;  but,  Sftor* 
gen3  um  jchn  Ubr  fteht  bie  Sonne  fdjon  hod). 

44.    Position  of  the  negative  (nid)t,  me,  etc.): 

(a)  In  simple  tenses  the  negative  follows  the  object: 
3d)  fenne  ifm  ntd)t 

(b)  It  follows  the  adverb  of  time  and  precedes  the  ad- 
verb of  place  or  manner  and  the  prepositional  phrase: 

3d)  gebe  ntd)t  mtt  thm. 

(Er  nrirb  morgen  nidjt  beffer  arbettem 

(c)  It  precedes  an  infinitive,  a  past  participle,  a  separ- 
able prefix  and  a  predicate  adjective: 


180  Grammatical  Notes 

3d)  toerbe  tyn  nicr^t  (nie)  fcfjcn. 
3d)  fjabe  tf;n  nid)t  geferjcn. 
34  fef)e  ifyn  nid)t  an. 
Die  Slrbctt  ift  nid)t  leitfjt. 

(d)  9?irf)t  precedes  a  word  immediately  when  that  word 
is  especially  to  be  negatived: 

3d)  tneine  nidjt  ben  Mann,  fonbcrn  Me  grew. 

45.  The  predicative  adjective,  noun  or  participle  comes 
in  the  latter  part  of  the  sentence: 

(£r  mar  3<*fyre  tana,  mem  outer  greunb  getoefen. 
£)a3  JHnb  toar  gefteru  abenb  fcfjr  frattf. 
3>utfd)lanb  ift  im  SSeften  t>on  brei  Sitnbern  begrengt. 

46.  Position  of  dependent  clauses: 

(a)  Since  dependent  clauses  have  the  value  of  substan- 
tives, adverbs  or  adjectives,  their  position  falls  under  the 
rules  already  given;  (otherwise  the  order  is  usually  as  in 
English).    For  example: 

i.  An  adverbial  clause  should  not  come  between  sub- 
ject and  verb  in  the  normal  order: 

The  general,  having  lost  the  battle,  was  very  much 
discouraged, 

becomes  £)er  (general  mar,  nad)bem  er  bic  ©d)lad)t  bcrlorcn 
fyrttc,  febr  cntmutigt.  Or  £)er  (General  Wax  fcr)r 
entmutigt,  nad)bem  er  bie  ©tf)fod)t  berlorett  fjatte, 

2.  So,  too,  a  sentence  should  not  begin  with  two  ad- 
verbial clauses: 

As  soon  as  he  had  recovered,  although  he  was  still 
weak,  he  returned  to  his  work, 


Grammatical  Notes  181 

becomes  ©obalb  er  ftdj  erbolt  fyatte,  ging  er  toieber  an  bte  Ar- 
beit, obgteid)  er  nod)  fdjraad)  mar. 

•  (b)  The  dependent  clause  may  be  incorporated  in  the 
main  structure  of  the  sentence,  or  may  be  attached  to  it 
as  an  appendix.  An  important  principle  is  that  a  short 
word  should  not  stand  alone  at  the  end  of  a  sentence 
after  a  subordinate  clause: 

3>r  9D?ann  fab  bad  53ud)  an,  bad  er  in  ber  §>anb 
fyatte, 

not  £>er  2ftann  fab  bad  53udj,  bad  er  in  ber  £>anb  batte, 
an; 

but  £)er  9Q?ann  fab  bad  93udj,  ba3  er  in  ber  £>anb  fjatte, 
mit  grofoer  2Iufmerffamfett  an. 

Note:  The  dependent  infinitive  with  $u  is  often  regarded  as  a  de- 
pendent clause,  and  is  subject  to  the  same  rules  (cf.  37,  Note). 

47.  In  general,  then,  the  elements  of  a  sentence  come 
in  the  following  order: 

(a)  Normal  order:  Subject;  Finite  Verb;  Pronoun  Ob- 
ject; Adverb  of  Time;  Noun  Object;  Negative;  Adverb  of 
Place,  Manner  or  Degree;  Predicate  Adjective  or  Noun; 
Non-finite  Verb. 

(b)  Inverted  order:  Inverting  Element  (if  present); 
Finite  Verb;  Subject;  other  elements  as  in  (a). 

(c)  Transposed  order:  Transposing  Element;  Subject; 
other  elements  as  in  (a);  Finite  Verb.

Words  Likely  to  Cause  Coofusion 

49.  (a)  Even  where  the  words  are  separated,  not  a 
(not  any)  =  t etn,  not  nid)t  ein;  not  anything  =  ntd)t3,  not 
md)t  etttm3;  not  any  one  =  mernanb  or  fetner: 

He  did  not  have  a  farthing. 

(2r  fyatte  fetnen  §eller. 

Have  you  not  heard  anything  of  him? 

§aben  ©ie  ntd)t3  t»on  tt)m  gebort? 

(b)  Himself,  herself,  etc.  =  felbft  (or  felfcer),  in  an  em- 
phatic sense.  This  word  is  indeclinable,  and  the  same 
form  is  used  with  all  numbers  and  cases: 

SWetn  gretmb  toar  felbft  babei.     3^m  fetbft  gab  id)  ben 
©rtef- 

3td)  is  reflexive  only,  and  can  be  used  only  in  dative  or 
accusative: 

C?r  fyctt  fict)  gegetgt. 

(c)  Of  the  three  words  for  but,  after,  fonbew,  attetm 

%bct  (or,  rarely,  afteht)  is  used  after  both  affirmative 
and  negative  clauses.  It  qualifies  but  does  not  contra- 
dict: 

(Sr  iff  ntcfjt  retdj,  aber  er  tft  fet)r  fretgebtg. 

Crr  tft  retd),  aber  (or  aftem)  er  and  ntd)t  bejahten. 

©unbent  is  preceded  by  a  negative  and  introduces  an 
opposite  statement: 

(Sr  tft  ntd)t  retd),  fonbera  arm. 

Note:  When,  in  English,  however  may  be  substituted  for  but,  use 
ttbcr  (or  attctn);  when  but  =  but  rather,  use  fonfccrn. 

(d)  When  = 

SSann,  in  a  direct  or  indirect  question  regarding  time: 
353ann  fam  er?     When  did  he  come? 


184  Grammatical  Notes 

SSktttt,  referring  to  customary  or  repeated  action  ( =  when- 
ever) in  past,  present  or  future,  and  with  a  present  or  future 
verb: 

$3enn  id)  nadj  £>aufe  fam,  toarft  bu  immer  fort. 
When(ever)  I  came  home,  you  were  always  away. 
2Benn  id)  git  $aufe  bin,  fdireibe  id)  Mr. 
When  I  am  at  home,  I'll  write  to  you. 

5U£  referring  to  a  single  event  in  past  time: 
2(16  id)  geftern  nad)  £>aufc  fam,  toarft  bu  fdjon  fort. 
PF/zew  /  came  home  yesterday,  you  were  gone. 

(e)   As  = 

9ll£  or  tote  in  expressions  of  past  time: 

Site  id)  nad)  £>aufe  ging. 

^a  in  expressions  of  cause: 
£)a  id)  fern  ©elb  fjatte,  mufcte  tdj  gu  §aufe  bleibeti 

(/)    Since  = 

Sett,  as  a  preposition: 
(Beit  bem  $riege,  6mce  //^  war. 

^a  in  expressions  of  cause:  cf.  (e). 

Sett  or  fettbettt  in  expressions  of  time: 

Bettbem  id)  ba  bin,  ift  er  ntd)t  gefommen. 

(s)  if- 

SScmt,  in  conditions  (cf.  30b). 

Dfc,  in  the  sense  of  whether: 
Q£x  fragte  mid),  ob  id)  gefyen  toollte. 

(h)  After  = 

Sftad),  as  a  preposition: 

Wad)  ftinf  Uf)r. 

9lad)bem,  as  a  conjunction: 

9?ad)bcm  id)  gefommen  toar,  toar  c$  gu  fpat. 


VOCABULARIES 


EXPLANATIONS 

The  usual  abbreviations  are  employed.  A  dash  ( — )  stands  for 
the  title-word.  As  a  rule,  parts  of  speech  are  indicated  only  where 
confusion  might  otherwise  .occur.  Pronunciation  is  occasionally 
indicated  in  square  brackets  or  by  accent. 

When  part  of  a  word  or  expression  is  enclosed  in  parenthesis,  this 
part  may  be  omitted.  Thus,  development,  bie  GnttlDtcf(e)hmg  indi- 
cates that  either  of  the  two  forms  (SnttDtcfehmg  or  (Snttotcflung  may 
be  used.      The  other  uses  of  parenthesis  require  no  explanation. 

When  the  German  equivalent  of  the  English  word  forms  part  of  a 
compound,  it  is  indicated  thus:  imperial,  dtdd)$',  i.e.  imperial  land  = 
$ftetd)3lcmb. 

Separable  compound  verbs  have  a  hyphen  between  prefix  and  verb 
(ab=3tef)en).  Inseparable  verbs  are  writ-ten  as  one  word  (befommen). 
Verbs  marked  with  an  asterisk  (*)  are  strong  or  irregular.  Their 
forms  can  be  found  in  the  List  of  Strong  and  Irregular  Verbs,  p.  276. 
Verbs  conjugated  with  fetn  are  indicated  by  (f.);  those  conjugated 
with  either  fein  or  baben  by  ((.  or  b.).  In  all  other  cases  the  verb  is 
to  be  conjugated  with  baben. 

The  definite  article  is  printed  with  the  nominative  form  of  the 
noun,  and  is  to  be  learned  as  a  part  of  the  noun.  The  genitive 
singular  and  nominative  plural  of  all  nouns  having  a  plural  are  indica- 
ted. Thus,  ba3  ©d)tff,  -(e)3,  -e,  indicates  neuter  noun,  genitive  sin- 
gular =  ©cfytffg  or  ©djtffeS,  nominative  plural  =  ©d)iffc;  ba3  ©djlofo,  -ffeS, 
-"-ffer  =  ba$  ©cf)loJ3,  beS  ©djfoffeS,  bie  ©d)toffer.  When  e  is  enclosed  in 
parenthesis,  -(e)3,  it  may  be  used  or  omitted;  as  a  rule,  monosyllabic 
nouns  retain  it,  polysyllabic  nouns  omit  it.  Thus,  ber  <Sobn,  -(e)3, 
■LLt  =  btv  ©obn,  beS  ©ohncS,  bie  ©oluie;  ber  $ontg,  -(e)3,  -e  =  ber  $6nig, 
beS  $bntg£,  bie  $omge.  3Me  (Site,  — ,  indicates  feminine  noun,  geni- 
tive singular  =  (Site,  no  plural. 

Adverbs  in  -ly  are  given  only  when  they  cannot  be  rendered  by 
the  uninflected  form  of  the  corresponding  adjective.  Likewise  in 
the  German-English  Vocabulary,  fd)tin  =  either  beautiful  or  beauti- 
fully.
